It typically takes about 15 to 25 minutes to grill corn on the cob, depending on the method used. Grilling timings by method:
- Directly on the grill grates (without husks): about 12 to 16 minutes, turning occasionally until lightly charred and tender.
- In foil packets: about 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally.
- In the husks (after soaking in water to prevent burning): about 15 to 20 minutes, turning until husks are charred and corn is cooked through.
These times are based on medium-high heat grilling at approximately 375-450°F. Resting the corn briefly after grilling in foil allows steam to finish cooking and keep kernels juicy.
