For a spicier kick, use a hotter Cajun seasoning or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the corn before wrapping. If you prefer a sweeter profile, brush the corn with a light coating of maple syrup or honey before wrapping with bacon. Ensure the grill is properly preheated to achieve optimal bacon crispness. Thick-cut bacon is recommended to prevent burning during the longer grilling time. To avoid flare-ups, keep a close eye on the grill and move the corn to a cooler area if needed. Leftover grilled corn can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or on the grill before serving.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the grill: Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat (approximately 450-550°F). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Season the corn: Sprinkle each ear of corn generously with Cajun spice blend, salt, and pepper. Ensure even coverage for a balanced flavor. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Wrap with bacon: Tightly wrap each ear of corn with 2-3 slices of bacon, overlapping slightly to ensure maximum coverage. Secure the bacon ends by tucking them under or using a toothpick if needed. (15 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Wrap in foil: Enclose each bacon-wrapped ear of corn in a sheet of aluminum foil. Twist the ends tightly to create a sealed packet, trapping the moisture and flavors. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Grill on high heat: Place the foil-wrapped corn directly on the preheated grill grates. Grill for 10 minutes per side, allowing the bacon to begin rendering and the corn to heat through. (20 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Grill on low heat: Reduce the grill heat to low (approximately 250-300°F). Continue grilling for 45 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. This allows the bacon to fully cook and crisp up while the corn becomes tender and infused with smoky bacon flavor. (45 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Rest and serve: Carefully remove the foil-wrapped corn from the grill. Let rest for 5 minutes before opening the foil to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Oct 13, 2024I didn't have Cajun seasoning so I used a mixture of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. It was still really good.

May 22, 2024The Cajun seasoning gives it a nice kick. I used a little less salt because the bacon is already salty.
