Oven Broiled Corn On The Cob

1) Preheat broiler.
2) Place corn on the cob still in their husks on a baking sheet.
3) Place pan a few inches below broiler for 10 minutes.
4) Flip corn over and cook 10 minutes more. (The husks will become black.)
5) Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
6) Remove husks and enjoy!

* I will never make corn any other way! I have always boiled my corn in some sugar on the stove top except for rare occasions on the BBQ during the summer. Thanks to an awesome tip from my friend, we have fallen in love with this cooking method! The corn was so flavorful, moist, and so much easier to eat than boiling it in water. The kernels were not filled with water and the silk came off so much easier when peeling the husks away. You can not go wrong with this delicious and easy corn!
