Spicy Bacon Wrapped Corn is one of my favorite ways to enjoy fresh summer corn. Fresh corn cobs are brushed with a mixture of melted butter and crushed red pepper flakes wrapped in bacon and roasted until the bacon is crispy.

 
The bacon gives the corn a wonderful smoky saltiness. We all know that everything is better than bacon. This corn is a must for a cookout or bbq. It goes great with burgers, hot dogs, bbq chicken, you name it.
I like to roast this corn in the oven instead of grilling it, but you can grill it. Just be prepared for bacon grease to cause flare-ups.

 
Tips for making Bacon Wrapped Corn:

Do not use thick-cut bacon. It will not crisp up fast enough.
Corn is at its sweetest the day it is picked. For best flavor, buy some at the farmers market and cook it that day. When wrapping the corn, don’t pull the corn tightly. Just loosely wrap it. It will shrink as it cooks.
If you don’t want the corn to be spicy, leave out the crushed red pepper flakes. If you want it extra spicy, add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper.
