Instructions
- Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling using Kingsford® Original Charcoal and preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Butterfly hot dogs by slicing them lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Open gently so they lay flat on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until charred in spots and hot throughout.
- While the grill is heating and the hot dogs are cooking, grill the buns quickly over direct heat until lightly toasted—about 1 minute. Place one hot dog in each bun, and top with a quarter of the mustard, relish, onions, tomatoes, and one pickle spear. Add sport peppers, to taste, and sprinkle with celery salt. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and serve immediately.
Notes
- Pitmaster note: All-beef hot dogs and poppy seed buns make a “true” Chicago hot dog. If you can’t find those, regular all-beef dogs and plain buns will be fine. You can grill the buns rather than steam them to save time.
