Change Up Your Hot Dog Game For The Better And Spiralize Them

Whether you're grilling or pan frying your hot dogs, you can easily ensure you have crispier, more caramelized meat. Simply spiralize the franks to give them more surface area.

Spiralized dogs also cook faster, which helps keep them juicy. A spiral cut frank perfectly fits onto a bun and the open spaces create pockets to secure condiments in the dog.

One method of spiralizing your hot dogs involves running a wooden skewer through the hot dog lengthwise and cutting the dog at a slight angle

as you roll it away from you.

Alternatively, slice the dog about halfway through crosswise about every ¼ inch. Ensure you don't cut too deep and use chopsticks on each side to avoid cutting all the way through.

Finally, turn the hot dog over and slice it at a 45-degree angle, again about every ¼ inch and about half way through. Now, prepare them as usual.
