Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Frankfurters (hot dogs)
- 8 pieces Hot dog buns
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ketchup, yellow mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, to create a tangy barbecue sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
Using a knife, lightly score each frankfurter diagonally in a criss-cross pattern. This helps the sauce stick and allows the frankfurters to cook more evenly.
Place the frankfurters on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently to achieve char marks on all sides.
In the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the frankfurters generously with the prepared barbecue sauce and grill until sticky and caramelized.
While the frankfurters are grilling, toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and warm.
Remove the frankfurters and buns from the grill. Place one barbecued frankfurter in each bun.
Serve immediately, and enjoy with your favorite toppings such as additional barbecue sauce, chopped onions, or relish.
