Hot dogs are a classic American food that has been a staple for many years. Whether you're at a baseball game or a backyard barbecue, you're bound to find hot dogs on the menu. But have you ever tried frying your hot dogs? If not, you're in for a treat! In this recipe, we'll show you how to make the ultimate fried hot dog that's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Ingredients
To make the perfect fried hot dog, you'll need the following ingredients: - 4 hot dogs - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 cup bread crumbs - 2 eggs - 1/4 cup milk - Salt and pepper to taste - Oil for frying
Instructions
1. Begin by heating a large pot of oil over medium-high heat. You'll want the oil to be hot enough to fry the hot dogs but not so hot that they burn. 2. While the oil is heating up, prepare your hot dogs. Use a fork to poke several holes into each hot dog. This will help the hot dogs cook evenly and prevent them from bursting. 3. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another shallow dish, mix together the flour, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. 4. Dip each hot dog into the egg mixture, then coat it in the flour mixture. Repeat this process until all of the hot dogs are coated. 5. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the hot dogs into the pot one at a time. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. 6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the hot dogs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. 7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
