1. Buy corn on the cob. Frozen corn not on a cob will fall into your grill. No one wants to eat charcoaled corn.
2. Light grill. Any sort of grill works fine. Don't light yourself on fire. Grilled corn is difficult to enjoy in the emergency room.
3. Let the grill cool down a bit. Charred corn does not become popcorn, it becomes burnt corn.
4. Shuck the corn. While doing this, refrain from any jokes about how the process is corny or any references to the band Korn. Failure to abide by these rules while shucking will result in burnt corn. Guaranteed.
5. Put the corn on the grill. Turn it every few minutes.
6. Your corn should be ready in less then ten minutes. Grill marks are fine, they just add character.
7. Enjoy with butter, salt, or butter and salt.

Moroccan Chicken
This is fast becoming a staple. I've even made a chicken wing version that is significantly less healthy but equally good.
Moroccan Chicken
Ingredients:
2 Cup Brown Rice
4 Teaspoons Paprika
2 Teaspoon Cumin
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric (or Saffron)
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
4+ Garlic Cloves (Minced)
1.5(sh) Pounds Chicken
1/2 Cup Red Onion (Chopped)
2 Cups Chicken Broth
1/2 Cup Golden Raisins
1/4 Cilantro (Optional)
Instructions:
1. Start the rice first. With some luck it'll be done at the same time as everything else.
2. While the rice is cooking, cut chicken into small pieces. In a medium size bowls combine the chicken pieces with the spices (including the garlic). Using your hands (or a spoon if you are afraid of raw chicken) mix everything together until the chicken is covered in delicious spices
3. In a large skillet heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion. When the onion is soft and mostly translucent add the chicken. Brown the chicken for 8-10 minutes or until sufficiently cooked. When the chicken is done, add broth and raisons. Drop the heat to medium and let the liquid reduce for about 5 minutes.
4. Combine the rice and the chicken/broth in the skillet. Kill the heat and let the combine everything together.
5. Serve with fresh cilantro. This is an ideal leftovers meal as it tastes much better the second day (its very good on the first day too).
