Cooking for people

Ingredients

8 hot dogs
9 ¾ oz. (1 bag) Fritos Corn Chips
1 can hot dog chili
½ small white onion, diced (optional)
1 cup finely grated cheddar jack cheese
8 hot dog buns

1 Food Prep

Start by assembly your toppings. Dice the white onion, grate your cheese, and set aside.

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.
Place a small grill-proof saucepan on the grill and add the hot dog chili, allowing the chili to warm as you cook the hot dogs.
Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes turning frequently to brown evenly, until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F on a digital meat thermometer.
To toast your buns, open them and place them face down on the grill, directly over the coals. Watch your buns closely — they burn fast. Toasting takes anywhere from a few seconds to a minute, depending on how hot your coals are.
Remove the hot dogs from the grill and assemble by placing each one into a bun, then topping with corn chips, chili, onions (optional) and shredded cheese.
Serve immediately — and enjoy the crunchy deliciousness!
