  • Author: Eliana
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Indulge in these irresistible baked hot dog burnt ends – a fun twist on traditional BBQ burnt ends that transforms ordinary hot dogs into caramelized, sauce-glazed bites perfect for game day snacking or a unique appetizer that both kids and adults will love.

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat the Oven
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil. This preparation ensures easy cleanup afterward and prevents the sticky sauce from adhering to your baking sheet.
  3. 2. Prepare the Hot Dogs
  4. Take your hot dogs and cut them into uniform 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Place all the pieces in a large mixing bowl, making sure they’re ready to receive the flavorful sauce mixture.
  5. 3. Mix the Sauce
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth, well-integrated sauce that will coat and flavor your hot dog pieces.
  7. 4. Coat the Hot Dog Pieces
  8. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the hot dog pieces in the bowl. Gently toss or stir to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated with the sticky, flavorful sauce.
  9. 5. Pan-Sear the Hot Dogs
  10. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sauce-coated hot dog pieces to the pan. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize and develop a slight char on the edges.
  11. 6. Prepare for Baking
  12. Transfer the seared hot dog pieces to your prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking and proper crisping of all pieces.
  13. 7. Bake to Perfection
  14. Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Watch for the edges to become crispy and the sauce to bubble, indicating they’re done.
  15. 8. Rest and Serve
  16. Remove the hot dog burnt ends from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. This rest period helps the sauce set slightly and makes them easier to handle. Serve warm with toothpicks for easy grabbing.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the sauce mixture for a smoky BBQ taste.
  • These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 325°F for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Try serving with small dipping bowls of additional BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing.
  • For a spicier version, add 1-2 teaspoons of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the sauce mixture.
  • These burnt ends pair wonderfully with mac and cheese, coleslaw, or potato salad for a complete meal.
