Should I grill corn in foil or the corn husk?

Both work well! For this recipe, though, I like to pull the husks off so I can slather my corn with Garlic Herb Butter before wrapping it in foil and cooking it on the grill.

How long to grill corn?

It only needs 10 minutes on the grill, getting turned every 3 minutes. So fast, and you’ll be in heaven after your first bite!
