A graphic for Spiral Grilled Hot Dogs in a red plastic food basket loaded with toppings.

Spiral Hot Dogs get nice nooks and crannies to hold more toppings like relish, ketchup, and mustard. Grill these at your next Cookout and put out a bar of all the condiments.

I love to serve in reuseable plastic food baskets for parties. Just toss the paper, less waste, and it looks so fun...

You Will Need

All the ingredients to make grilled hot dogs for a cookout laying on a table and labled.

How To Make Spiral Hot Dogs

  1. Push each hot dog on a metal skewer, and run a sharp knife at an angle scoring the hot dog into a spiral section all the way down each hot dog. 
  2. PRO TIP: Jumbo hot dogs work better but regular are fine too.
  3. Grill dogs on an outdoor grill or in a cast iron grill pan until cooked. Load onto hot dog bun with toppings, and serve in a food basket lined with paper.

Hot Dog Toppings

The best part of a grilled dog, is you guessed it...what you put on it! The choices are endless, and all personal. Here are some of my all-time favorites and ones I serve often at cookouts.

  • chili
  • grated cheese
  • coleslaw
  • relish
  • mustard
  • ketchup
  • chopped onions
  • chopped tomatoes
  • green onions
  • pickles
  • sauerkraut
  • pickled jalapenos
  • caramelized onions & mushrooms
  • crumbled bacon

What Kind Of Relish To Choose?



-Sweet Pickle Relish - classic and sweeter of course.
-Dill Pickle Relish - for people who prefer a tart tang.
-Chicago-style Relish is a type of sweet pickle relish typically used on Chicago-style hot dogs. The unique color of the relish often referred to as "neon green", is created by adding blue dye to regular pickle relish.

This Relish ⬆ is a mix of clean crunchy ingredients. You can make it coarse or fine as you prefer. Top classic or spiral hot dogs or load-on burgers as part of your cookout menu.
