Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or prepare charcoal until the coals are glowing with a medium heat.
Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them, and take out the silk from each ear. Rinse the corn under running water and pat dry. Fold the husks back over the corn to protect it during grilling.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the husks are charred and the kernels are tender. If desired, you can open the husks slightly and char the kernels directly for extra flavor during the last minute of grilling.
While the corn is grilling, prepare the honey butter. In a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Once the corn is done, peel back or fully remove the husks (be careful as they will be hot). Use a pastry brush or spoon to generously coat each ear with the honey butter while it's still warm.
Optionally, sprinkle the grilled corn with chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sweet and smoky BBQ corn!
