FAQ

  • Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

    Yes, you can use dried herbs, but fresh herbs will provide a brighter and more vibrant flavor. If using dried herbs, use about 1 teaspoon each of dried parsley and dried chives.
  • How do I know when the corn is done?

    The corn is done when the kernels are tender and slightly charred. You can test for doneness by piercing a kernel with a fork.
  • Can I grill the corn in the husks?

    Yes, soaking the corn (in the husks) in water for about 30 minutes before grilling will help keep it moist. Grill in the husks over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.
