Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Slice Hot Dogs: Cut the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick, to ensure even cooking and absorption of flavors.
  2. Mix Sauce: In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and brown sugar until well blended to create a sweet and tangy glaze.
  3. Bake with Sauce: Place the sliced hot dogs in a baking dish and pour the BBQ sauce mixture over them, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Caramelize and Serve: Turn on the broiler for the last 3-5 minutes to caramelize the sauce on the hot dog pieces. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Remove from oven and serve hot as a delicious appetizer or snack.

  • For extra smoky flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the BBQ sauce mixture.
  • Serve with toothpicks for easy snacking at parties.
