1/4 cup fresh chopped chives
1/4 cup minced fresh garlic
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 ears of corn, husked

Or in a covered grill, arrange hot coals around a drip pan. Place corn on grill rack over drip pan but not over coals. Lower grill hood. Grill 20 to 25 minutes or until tender.

Or roast the corn in an oven at 350* for 30 minutes.
