Bonà savoir How to cook corn on the BBQ? Cooking corn on the BBQ is very quick. It usually takes betwen 5 to 10 minutes depending on the chosen method (with or without the leaves). To maximize the delicious roasted taste that cooking on the barbecue provides to food, we suggest that you remove the leaves. However, you will have to stay close to the barbecue at all times. If you do keep the leaves, know they will protect the corn like a wrapper, which will steam the corn instead of roast it. Still, pay attention to the flames to prevent the leaves from burning! First method: Ears of corn with leaves Preheat the BBQ to medium heat. Soak the ears of corn in water for 15 minutes. Then, place them directly unto the barbecue and grill them for 7 to 10 minutes depending on their size. Turn the ears frequently (every 2 minutes) to cook evenly. Once ready, peel and enjoy.
