Notes

The most important part of this recipe is rotating the corn often. One tip you can share with your readers is to place the corn in a line so they don’t lose track of what they have rotated.
Towards the end of cooking, you can open the foil and see if any sides need to cook a little more. You can finish the last few minutes with the foil open, rotating as needed.
There is no need for any extra seasoning with this recipe, the corn soaks up a rich smoky bacon flavor and that’s really all you need.
You can prep this dish before hand and keep in the fridge until it’s time to grill.
A common question with this dish is “how do I eat it”. When cooked properly, the bacon will just crunch off as you bite.
When serving this dish, you don’t need any utensils … just lots of napkins!
