Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- as needed optional dipping sauces (e.g., ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce)
- as desired optional toppings (e.g., shredded cheese, chopped green onions)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle to medium-high heat.
Carefully skewer each hot dog lengthwise onto a skewer, leaving about 1 inch of skewer sticking out at the base for easy handling.
Brush the hot dogs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and to add a slight char during cooking.
Sprinkle the hot dogs with salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Place the skewered hot dogs onto the preheated grill or griddle.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, rotating occasionally, until the hot dogs are slightly charred and heated through.
Remove the hot dogs from the heat and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and optional toppings, such as shredded cheese or chopped green onions.
