Instructions
Preheat the grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the spiced butter
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Pro tip: Ensure the butter is softened to easily mix with the spices.
Spread the spiced butter
Place each ear of corn on a piece of foil. Generously spread the spiced butter over each ear of corn, ensuring even coverage.
Wrap the corn
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in the foil, making sure the edges are sealed to prevent butter from leaking out.
Grill the corn
Place the foil-wrapped corn on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender.
Pro tip: Turning the corn ensures even cooking.
Serve
Carefully remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly before unwrapping. Serve warm.
Pro tip: Use tongs to handle the hot foil packets.
