Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dog Burnt Ends
- 8 pieces Hot Dogs (Use your preferred brand)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (For sautéing)
Sticky-Sweet Glaze
- 1 cup Barbecue Sauce (Choose your favorite flavor)
- 1/4 cup Honey (Substitute with agave syrup if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce (Check for gluten-free varieties)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Use fresh minced garlic for bolder taste)
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (Using fresh onion is a great alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready to bake the hot dog burnt ends once they’re coated in glaze.
- Sauté Hot Dogs: Slice the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces. In a skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the hot dog pieces until they turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. This step adds a nice sear and flavor.
- Prepare Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to create a sticky-sweet glaze that balances smoky, sweet, and savory flavors.
- Coat Hot Dogs: Fold the sautéed hot dog pieces into the glaze, ensuring each piece is well coated with the sticky sauce for maximum flavor.
- Bake: Spread the glazed hot dog pieces evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and create a sticky coating on each piece.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with agave syrup for a vegan option.
- Use gluten-free Worcestershire sauce if needed to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Fresh minced garlic and onion can replace the powders for a stronger flavor.
- Serve as an appetizer, snack, or alongside your favorite sides for a fun meal.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to allow even caramelization.
