Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 12" Hot Dogs (Dodger Dogs)
- Hot Dog Buns
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
- Yellow Mustard
- Sweet Relish
- Diced Onions
Instructions
- Fire up your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, let the coals get white-hot and spread them evenly.
- Place the 12-inch hot dogs on the grill over direct heat. Rotate them frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- For added crispiness, make shallow slits along the hot dogs before grilling. This allows the charcoal flavor to penetrate deeper.
- Grill the hot dogs for about 8-10 minutes, turning them regularly. Aim for a nice char but avoid burning. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Optionally, split the hot dogs lengthwise for extra crispy edges.
- Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they are slightly crispy.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise inside each bun. Place the grilled hot dog in the bun. Drizzle ketchup and yellow mustard over the hot dog. Add a spoonful of sweet relish. Sprinkle chopped onions on top.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the fresh, homemade taste of a classic Dodger Dog!
