Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Corn on the Cob with Sweet Brine.
Step 1
Begin by filling a large pot with cold water, then stir in white sugar and salt until they dissolve completely.
Step 2
Gently immerse the corn in the brine, ensuring it is fully covered, and let it soak for a minimum of 30 minutes, but no longer than 8 hours to achieve the best flavor infusion.
Step 3
While the corn is soaking, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent any sticking.
Step 4
Once the grill reaches the desired temperature, take the corn out of the brine and place it directly on the grill.
Step 5
Grill the corn, turning it every 2 to 3 minutes, until it develops a beautiful char on all sides, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 6
After grilling, generously brush the corn with softened butter and season it with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 7
Serve the corn hot off the grill and savor the delicious flavors!.
