  • Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over high heat. Place corn on hot grill rack; cover and cook 12 minutes or until charred, turning 1/4 turn every 3 minutes. Transfer corn to cutting board to cool; reduce grill heat to medium-low. Once corn is cool, cut corn kernels from cobs.

  • Serve brats in buns topped with corn mixture and hot sauce, if desired.
