Ingredients

Scale

Hot Dogs

  • 1 lb high-quality beef or turkey hot dogs

Brown Sugar

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Barbecue Sauce

  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

Hot Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce

Smoked Paprika

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low and slow cooking method will help the flavors meld beautifully while ensuring a tender texture.
  2. Prepare the Hot Dogs: Cut the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and absorb more flavor.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, hot sauce, brown sugar, and smoked paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  4. Coat the Hot Dogs: Add the cut hot dog pieces to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the sauce mixture.
  5. Bake: Transfer the coated hot dog pieces to a baking dish or a lined baking sheet. Spread them out evenly and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes for even cooking.
  6. Caramelize: After 1 hour, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the hot dog burnt ends are caramelized and slightly crispy on the edges.

Notes

  • Choose Quality Hot Dogs: Selecting good-quality hot dogs can greatly enhance the overall flavor.
  • Don’t Skip the Stirring: Stirring every 20 minutes helps to achieve an even caramelization.
  • Let It Rest: Allow the burnt ends to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheet can make cleanup a breeze.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be afraid to adjust the spices and sauces to match your taste.
