Step 3With a sharp knife, score each row of kernels on each ear.
-
Step 4In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients except lemon wedges. Mix well.
-
Step 5Spread the spice mixture evenly over each ear of corn and rub onto entire surface.
-
Step 6Let them stand about 10 minutes.
-
Step 7Place ears directly on grill and roast, turning occasionally, until they start to turn black and brown.
