Chicago-Style Char Dogs
Chicago Cubs
Our kinda dog, Chicago is. But those of us who don’t call the Windy City home can still grill up a Chicago-Style Char Dog worthy of Wrigleyville. Can’t get your mitts on a real Vienna beef sausage or steamed poppy seed bun? No worries. Just don’t forget the celery salt.
Let's get grilling
1
Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling using Kingsford® Original Charcoal, and preheat to 400°F. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
2
Butterfly hot dogs by slicing them lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Open gently so they lay flat on the grill.
3
Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side, until charred in spots and hot throughout. For your safety, please reference the USDA safe cooking temperatures.
4
While the grill is heating and the hot dogs are cooking, grill the buns quickly over direct heat until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
5
Place one hot dog in each bun, and top with a quarter of the mustard, relish, onions, tomatoes, and one pickle spear. Add sport peppers, to taste, and sprinkle with celery salt.
6
Repeat with remaining hot dogs and serve immediately.

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.
