Tips

  • When cutting the hot dogs, try to make them all a uniform size.
  • Experiment with different sauces and seasonings like honey or hot honey instead of brown sugar, and different rubs like Nashville Hot.
  • Serve with toothpicks as an appetizer, or in French rolls for sandwiches.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place on a baking sheet and cook in the oven at 350F for 7-10 minutes, or in an air fryer basket at 350F for 4 minutes.
