Hot Dog Burnt Ends
Serves: 16
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Ingredients
Hot Dogs
16 jumbo all-beef hot dogs
2 tablespoons yellow mustard (or Hey Grill Hey Zesty Gold BBQ Sauce)
2 tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub
Burnt Ends Sauce
4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup Hey Grill Hey Everything BBQ Sauce
Directions
1. Preheat the smoker: Preheat your smoker for indirect cooking to 225°F.
2. Season the hot dogs: Coat the hot dogs lightly with the yellow mustard (or Zesty Gold BBQ Sauce), then season evenly with the Sweet Rub.
3. Smoke the hot dogs: Place the hot dogs directly on the smoker grates. Close the lid and smoke for 1 hour.
4. Prepare the burnt ends: Remove the hot dogs from the smoker and cut each into 1½-inch pieces. Transfer the pieces to a disposable aluminum pan. Add the butter, brown sugar, and BBQ sauce, then toss until evenly coated.
5. Caramelize: Increase the smoker temperature to 375–400°F. Return the pan to the smoker and cook for 15–30 minutes, stirring every 5–10 minutes, until the butter has melted and the sauce has thickened into a sticky glaze that coats the hot dogs.
6. Serve: Transfer the hot dog burnt ends to a serving platter and let cool for 2–3 minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer with toothpicks or alongside your favorite BBQ sides.
Enjoy!
