Corn on the cob is probably one of the first side dishes that crosses your mind when you’re thinking about barbecue. It goes great with just about anything you can throw on the grill; hot dogs, burgers, steak and everything in between. Plus it’s really easy to cook and the taste is extremely versatile!
Today, I’ve compiled 10 really easy corn on the cob variations and listed what you’ll need for them! Typically, you’ll want to first apply the olive oil or butter to your corn, and add the spices and sauces in the last few minutes of cooking it. If something is listed as a topping, wait to add that until your corn is finished cooking. Happy grilling!
