Step one is to “pull back the husk and remove the silks.” Step two: “Re-cover the corn with the husk and soak the ears in water for about 20 minutes.” Finally, step three: “Fire up the grill and place the corn directly on the grates so it gets a nice charred flavor and color.”
“Just a little bit of extra effort will result in a big payoff — the juiciest and crunchiest corn ever,” Flay added.
