Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Hot dog sausages
- 8 pieces Bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 16 pieces (optional, for securing bacon) Wooden toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly spread for even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set this glaze aside for later use.
Wrap each hot dog sausage tightly with one slice of bacon. Secure the ends of the bacon with wooden toothpicks if necessary to keep the bacon from unraveling during grilling.
Place the bacon-wrapped franks onto the preheated grill perpendicular to the grates to prevent slipping through. Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure the bacon crisps evenly on all sides.
During the last 2–3 minutes of cooking, lightly brush the honey-Dijon glaze over the franks using a basting brush. Rotate them gently to caramelize the glaze without burning it.
Remove the grilled wrapped franks from the heat and let them rest for 2 minutes. Carefully remove toothpicks (if used) before serving.
Serve hot in a bun with your favorite toppings or as a standalone snack. Enjoy!
