Notes

  • This recipe is super simple and relies hevaily on the quality of hot dogs, so choose your absolute favorite type and brand. 
  • Slashing them before grilling helps in a few things: It allows the salt and pepper seasoning to seep right in. It also allows for a beautiful char and grill on the insides of the hot dog. And it creates a crispier texture as more skin is slashed.
  • The slight drizzle or spray of oil also creates a beautiful crust.
  • Make sure you preheat the grill before starting. 
  • Keep the lid shut for better circulation of air and maintaining the heat of the grill. 
  • Keep an eye out for them and keep flipping them as needed. On average they need total of 5-7 minutes depending on the size.
  • To make a hot dog bar, you need to think of many combos and varieties as shown above and prepare as needed.
  • If you have no time to pre make all the sauces, dressing, dips and slaw, you can rely on store bought. It saves time and makes you have this party setup in minutes!
  • Set up the table with labels. Or have some pre-assembled hot dogs so you can give some inspiration to your friends and family enjoying this.
  • Toast the buns for a bonus char and BBQ flavor.
  • Perfect on their own! These speciality ones made form the hot dog bar are a meal on their own. Loaded with toppings, they are so filling and satisfying!
  • Chips are a great side dish, use your favorite or a variety.
  • Fries like Air Fryer Frozen French Fries, Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries. Speciality fries like Nacho Fries, or healthy Zucchini Fries.
  • Salads like this watermelon feta salad shown above. It's inspired by Watermelon Salad Wedges, except we created a flag shape using blueberries.
  • Don't forget something cold and refreshing like Watermelon Slushie, Strawberry Mojito and Watermelon Sorbet.
