OMG! I made this Bacon Wrapped Grilled Corn on the Cob last week and my family is STILL raving. The corn didn’t taste like bacon, but it is so tender.
I have always soaked corn too, so I wasn’t surprised by how juicy and tender the kernels were.
Definitely cook the bacon first (not crispy), and use the string. A-MA-ZING!

Ingredients
- 8 ears corn
- 1 lb bacon
- water for soaking
- butcher string
Instructions
-
Carefully expose the corn kernels by pulling back the husk, but do NOT remove the husk. Remove the corn silk (you can use a soft brush to ensure that all the silk is removed).
-
Put water in a large container, add the corn, and soak the corn in the husks for 30 minutes. This will help to prevent the husks from charring on the grill.
-
Preheat grill to medium temperature.
-
Slightly precook the bacon. (Not crispy)
-
Remove the soaked corn from the water and pat dry.
-
Wrap strips of bacon around the corn kernels on each ear; fold the husks back over the bacon and kernels.
-
Tie the husks down with butcher string; repeat with all ears of corn.
-
Grill over medium coals/heat, turning occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes and until the bacon is cooked and the corn is tender.
-
Cut the butcher string away from the husks and serve.
Enjoy!
