how long does it take corn to cook on the grill
- Place the corn on a lightly oiled grill rack, either just above the coals for a shorter cooking time, or high above the coals to lower the risk of charring. Close the grill and cook for about 15â20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so. Check the corn ready when the husks start to get kernel-shaped char marks and pull away from the tip. If the kernels don't feel tender when poked with a fork, it's fine to leave the corn on until the husk chars black.
