“You don’t make friends with salad,” says PC® Executive Chef Allison Jones. Her go-big-or-go-home attitude inspired her to try spiralizing hot dogs for this recipe – a trick that creates all sorts of crispy nooks and crannies for the mustardy PC® Black Label Gold Barbecue Sauce and crispy toppings to nestle into.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp (30 mL) + 1/3 cup (83 mL) PC® Black Label Gold Barbecue Sauce, divided
1/3 cup (83 mL) mayonnaise
6 jumbo pork wieners
6 hot dog buns
ketchup, for topping (optional)
1⁄4 cup (60 mL) thinly sliced red onion
potato chips, for topping (optional)
PC® Crispy Jalapeños or PC® Crispy Onions, for topping (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Oil grill.
2. Stir 2 tbsp (30 mL) barbecue sauce with the mayonnaise in small bowl. Set aside.
3. Insert 12-inch (30 cm) wooden skewer lengthwise all the way through 1 wiener. (If skewer sticks out the side of the wiener, remove skewer and try again.) Holding skewer handle, place wiener on cutting board. Using paring knife, cut into the wiener at a slight angle until you hit the skewer; turn the wiener and continue cutting and turning until you reach the other end (try to space out the cuts by about 1⁄2-inch/1 cm). Carefully remove skewer and transfer wiener to plate. Repeat with remaining wieners.
4. Brush wieners all over with remaining 1/3 cup (83 mL) barbecue sauce; make sure you get sauce in between spiral cuts. Grill, turning often, until charred, crispy and cooked through 6 to 8 minutes. Grill buns, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes.
5. Squeeze ketchup into buns (if using). Divide wieners among buns and top with mayonnaise mixture and red onion, dividing evenly. If using, sprinkle with potato chips and crispy jalapeños or onions.
Try this: Think classic hot dog toppings when it comes to picking your potato chips – dill pickle, ketchupand jalapeño-flavoured chips are fun choices!
