Grilled Corn with HerbsJohn Kernick

Corn grilled in its husk isn't just easy, it's also more delicious than grilled shucked corn. The silk adds sweetness and also provides an extra layer of moisture that protects the kernels from the heat so they stay tender.

Cooks' Note:

If you aren't able to grill outdoors, corn (in husks) can be roasted directly on middle rack of a preheated 450°F oven 30 minutes.
