Hot Dogs on a Blackstone

Step 1

Partially slice hot dogs on a diagonal and again on opposite diagonal to make a criss cross effect. Do not slice all the way through - just enough so when you bend the dog - you can see the marks.

Step 2

Turn Blackstone onto medium high and when griddle is at 375º - add a light squirt of canola oil to the griddle surface (avoid olive oil - it has a low smoke point)

Step 3

Place hot dogs on the hot surface - sprinkle with seasoning salt or a little salt & pepper

Step 4

Cook for 2-3 min

Step 5

Using tongs, roll hot dogs in seasoning

Step 6

Cook 2-3 min more

Step 7

Toast buns on Blackstone to warm for 1 minute (you can butter the hot dog buns lightly before putting them on the griddle if you like)

Step 8

Remove hot dogs and buns from griddle and serve with ketchup, mustard, relish & more!
