Cooking for 4 people
Ingredients
-
4 all-beef hot dogs
-
4 hot dog buns
Hot Dog toppings
-
2 tbsp. yellow mustard
-
0.25 cup bright green sweet pickle relish
-
0.5 small white onion, diced
-
2 small Roma tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
-
4 dill pickle spears
-
pickled sport peppers, to taste
-
celery salt, to taste
1 Food Prep
First, butterfly the hot dogs by slicing them lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
- Next, get your hot dog toppings together so they’ll be ready when the hot dogs come off the grill. Cut the 2 small Roma tomatoes into thin wedges, and dice ½ of a small white onion.
2 Grill Prep
- Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
- Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
- Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)
How to Gauge Grill Heat Without a Thermometer
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
3 The Cook
- When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
- Gently open the butterflied hot dogs and lay them flat on the grill.
- Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until charred in spots and hot throughout.
- Grill the buns quickly over the coals for about 1 minute, until they’re lightly toasted.
- Place 1 hot dog on each bun and top with ¼ of the toppings. Add sport peppers to taste, then sprinkle with the celery salt.
- Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and serve immediately — hot off the grill.

Chicago. Char dogs
It Needs bacon bits for extra flavor. And no pickle spear. It makes the bun soggy

Party Pleaser
Easy party pleaser for everyone especially for groups like baseball teams. Able to quickly make and ready to serve hot while no one has to wait or have their food served cold.

OMG Yes!!!
Thanks for the recipe. I’m from Illinois not too far from downtown Chicago. Nothing like a long walk on Navy pier eating a Chicago style dog, overlooking Lake Michigan.
