# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F.
02 - In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, parsley, chives, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
03 - Place each ear of corn on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of the herb butter evenly over each ear.
04 - Wrap the corn tightly in the foil, sealing the ends well to prevent leaks.
05 - Place the foil-wrapped corn on the grill, cover, and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and lightly charred in spots.
