Notes
- The magic of this recipe is in the slits cut into the hot dogs—they not only help the sauce penetrate but also create edges that caramelize beautifully in the oven. For even more flavor, consider lightly toasting the buns in the oven during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. When serving a crowd, prepare the sauce in advance and refrigerate until ready to use. This recipe is incredibly forgiving, perfect for busy hosts who want to enjoy their gatherings without being tied to the kitchen.
