Gently pull back the husks from each corn cob without removing them. Remove all silk strands. Fold the husks back over the corn.

Soak the prepared corn in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned. Stir in salt and black pepper. Optional: add herbs or chili flakes. Set aside.

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Clean the grates.

Place the soaked corn (with husks) on the grill. Grill for 15–20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.

Remove from the grill, carefully peel back or discard husks.

Brush the grilled corn generously with garlic butter. Serve immediately with optional herbs or lemon juice.
