The Best BBQ Corn EVER!

I feel like such a let-down. I haven't posted in nearly a week! I'm so sorry if I let any of my faithful 5 down! It's been a busy week, getting ready for vacation while still plugging away on the daily grind.

Anyways, it's been so hot that I'm trying to get all my best barbecue recipes out there for you all to enjoy. This corn recipe comes from Paula Deen. I saw a variation of it this morning on the Today show, but it just didn't look as good.

Mayonnaise is the main ingredient in this. The first time I made it, my husband was quite skeptical. But he loved it upon first bite! The first time we made it for friends while camping, we didn't tell anyone how it was made. Everyone loved it, then were absolutely amazed when we told them it had mayo on it. The mayo cooks down and makes the seasonings stick to the super plump and crispy corn.

It is very helpful to have an extra pair of hands to prepare the corn for grilling. It can get a little messy. I also suggest taking off any rings so the mayo doesn't goop them up.

Chili powder

Shuck corn and remove the silk, then wash. Slather each cob with plenty of mayo. Sprinkle each cob with desired seasonings, while turning cobs so that seasonings distribute evenly. Rub seasonings into each cob, then roll up each cob in foil. Grill corn on low (about 300 degrees) over direct heat for 20 minutes, turning cobs every 5 minutes.

Happy grilling!
