Method
 

  1. Peel back the husks on the corn about 3/4 of the way down, but not off. Remove the silk and discard it.
  2. Soak in room temperature water for 30 minutes. Remove and pat the corn dry with a paper towel.
  3. Mix butter and seasonings thoroughly.
  4. Spread the seasoning and butter mixture over the corn and rewrap the corn with the husks. Secure the husks around the corn with string if necessary.
  5. Preheat the grill for direct heat at medium temperature, about 350°F.
  6. Grill the corn over the direct heat for about 20 to 30 minutes. Rotate the corn occasionally, allowing it to cook all around the cob. Remove when done. Bon Appetit.

Notes

You can also wrap the corn in aluminum foil if you don't want to cook it in the husk. 
Seasonings can be interchanged as per your taste. These are my favorite seasonings for this dish.
