Ingredients

Units Scale

Hot Dogs

  • 1 pound hot dogs

Brown Sugar

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Barbecue Sauce

  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Honey

  • 1/4 cup honey

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 300ยฐF (150ยฐC). This low and slow cooking will ensure the hot dogs cook evenly and absorb all the flavors.
  2. Cut the Hot Dogs: Slice the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch thick. This will allow them to get crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside.
  3. Prepare the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, barbecue sauce, honey, and your chosen spices. Stir until well blended, creating a thick, flavorful glaze.
  4. Toss the Hot Dogs: Add the cut hot dogs to the bowl with the glaze and toss until each piece is evenly coated. Make sure every bite is packed with flavor!
  5. Bake: Spread the glazed hot dog pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the hot dog burnt ends are nicely caramelized and slightly crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.

Notes

  • Use Quality Ingredients: The better your ingredients, the tastier your burnt ends will be.
  • Donโ€™t Overcrowd the Pan: Give the hot dog pieces enough space on the baking sheet for even cooking.
  • Adjust Spice Levels: Feel free to modify the amount of spices to suit your heat preference.
  • Let Them Rest: Allow the burnt ends to rest for a few minutes after baking for the best texture.
  • Experiment with Glazes: Try different flavor profiles with various sauces to find your perfect combination.
