Tips and Tricks
Choosing the Corn
Pick fresh, tender corn for the best results. Look for ears with bright green husks and moist silk. The kernels should be plump and milky when you press them.
Seasoning Evenly
To ensure even seasoning, try mixing the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl first. Then, sprinkle the mixture over the corn for consistent flavor.
Wrapping the Bacon
Make sure the bacon is wrapped tightly around the corn to prevent it from slipping off during grilling. You can use toothpicks to secure the bacon ends if needed, but remember to remove them before serving.
Sealing the Foil
When wrapping the corn in foil, ensure the ends are twisted tightly to prevent any steam from escaping. This helps cook the corn and bacon evenly and keeps the corn moist.
Checking for Doneness
To check if the corn is done, carefully open one foil packet after grilling. The bacon should be crispy, and the corn should be tender. If it’s not ready, rewrap and grill for a few more minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
While fresh corn provides the best flavor, you can use frozen corn in a pinch. Just make sure it’s thawed before wrapping it with bacon.
Simply insert a fork into the corn. If it easily pierces through, the corn is tender and ready to be served.
