The Scoop
Some hot dogs are just hot dogs. These are the best ones, and the ones people will ask about later when they talk about their favorite meals.
Some hot dogs are just hot dogs. These are the best ones, and the ones people will ask about later when they talk about their favorite meals. Made with a quick marinade of ketchup, a bit of unpronounceable Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and olive oil, they soak up so much flavor, especially if you carve little cuts to help the marinade penetrate and char on the grill.
They are exactly what a cookout should taste like, and you will never see hot dogs with the same eye.
Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 1/4 cup ketchup, plus more, to taste, for serving
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- hot dog buns, optional, to taste
- mustard, optional, to taste, for serving
Directions
- With a small, sharp knife, make shallow cuts at an angle in two rows down each hot dog, about 1/2-inch apart.
- Mix 1/4 cup of the ketchup with the Worcestershire sauce, the oil, and the garlic.
- Pour the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag.
- Add the hot dogs to the marinade and massage lightly so the hot dogs are completely coated.
- Let the hot dogs marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the hot dogs until nicely charred and the cuts open up, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve on the buns with the extra ketchup and the mustard.
