Preparation

Wrap each corn cob with a slice of thick bacon and secure well at 4 or 5 spots using butcher’s twine so the bacon stays in place during cooking.
Lightly brush the wrapped cobs with olive oil.
Preheat the BBQ to maximum heat. Oil the grill to prevent the bacon from sticking.
Place the cobs directly on the grill and cook about 12 minutes total, turning every 3 minutes for even cooking and nicely golden on all sides. The bacon should be cooked and crispy at the same time as the corn caramelizes.
Remove the cobs from the BBQ, place them on a serving dish and generously garnish with grated cheddar while they’re still hot (the cheese will melt slightly).
Garnish with fresh chopped chives and serve immediately.
