Bourbon Hot Dogs
Picture this: a savory hot dog wrapped in a burst of rich bourbon-infused goodness. It’s not just a hot dog; it’s an experience! Let’s dive into the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of your favorite hot dogs (about 10-12 hot dogs)
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Hot dog buns (optional for serving)
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Begin by creating the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together the bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Next, in a large resealable plastic bag, add the hot dogs and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag tightly and gently shake it to ensure that all the hot dogs are coated in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or for best results, allow to marinate overnight.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
- Remove the hot dogs from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting. Grill the hot dogs for about 5-7 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are heated through and have beautiful grill marks.
- While grilling, use a brush to baste the hot dogs with the reserved marinade for additional flavor.
- Once done, remove the hot dogs from the grill. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before placing them in buns (if using) and garnishing with chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors!
These Bourbon Hot Dogs are a fantastic twist on a simple classic and are sure to be a hit at any gathering. So fire up the grill, gather your friends and family, and get ready for a flavorful experience that will leave everyone wanting more!
