- When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
- Place the corn on the grill directly over the coals and rotate until all sides are well charred, about 8 minutes total.
- Remove the corn from the grill when the kernels have begun to blacken in spots.
- Dip each lime half into the spice rub.
- Serve each cob with a lime half to rub over the corn. If desired, sprinkle extra rub onto the corn.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve hot. Enjoy.
