Ingredients
Scale
For Marinated Grilled Hot Dogs:
- ½ cup chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 hot dog buns
Instructions
- Make the Dough: Make shallow cuts in the hot dogs to allow the marinade to infuse and open them up while grilling.
- Make the Marinade: Mix chili sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour over hot dogs in a ziplock bag and marinate for 15-20 minutes (or overnight).
- Grill the Hot Dogs: Grill the marinated hot dogs on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until they’re charred and the cuts open up.
- Serve and Enjoy: Place grilled hot dogs in buns and top with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or relish. Serve with sides like potato salad or grilled corn on the cob.
Notes
- Marinate Overnight for More Flavor: Letting the hot dogs marinate overnight will deepen the flavor infusion.
- Grill on Medium Heat: Make sure your grill is at medium heat to avoid burning the hot dogs while still achieving a nice char.
- Try Other Mix-ins: Experiment with different cookie and candy types, like peanut butter cups or Reese’s Pieces, to add fun twists to your hot dog recipe.
