#TrueBlue Tailgate Recipe : BBQ Street Corn

It’s time for Week 2 and MTSU heads to VandyLand with a good chance of going 2-0. Kickoff will be at 3:00. If you plan on throwing a “watch party” or going to the game (MTSU fans have bought out their allotted tickets) here’s a great grilling recipe to wow your friends.

Ingredients

Notes

Cooking corn in the husk allows it to cook in its own moisture and makes it much easier to take the husk off. If desired, finish corn on the grill to get some char and color before brushing on the mayonnaise mixture.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set corn (in their husks) on a baking sheet and bake for about 35 min. In the meantime, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, and BBQ rub of choice in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Remove corn from oven and let it cool. Peel back husks; remove husks if desired or leave on for a sort of “handle” for the corn. (For char and color, grill corn over high heat for about 5 to 10 min.) Liberally brush on the mayonnaise mixture to thoroughly coat the ears of corn. Finish the corn by sprinkling all sides with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese and chives.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with your favorite BBQ protein and sides.
