How to make corn on the cob wrapped in bacon:

Step 2. Combine the seasoning. Next, mix together the chili powder, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
Step 3. Coat the corn with oil and seasoning. Rub the vegetable oil on the ears of the corn and season the corn with the half of the seasoning mixture.
Step 4. Wrap the corn in bacon. Then wrap each of the corn with the bacon overlapping the bacon slightly (3 slices of bacon per ear of corn).
Step 5. Place each ear of corn on aluminum foil. Then place each piece of corn on a piece of foil. Next, season the outside of the bacon on the corn with the remaining seasoning mixture and drizzle the honey evenly on top.
