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...

How To Make Spiral Hot Dogs
- 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.
- PRO TIP: Jumbo hot dogs work better but regular are fine too.
- 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

- chopped onions
- chopped tomatoes
- green onions
- pickles
- sauerkraut

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.
