Well, who would’ve thought about marinating hot dogs? Sure, I marinate pork and beef all of the time. But it never occurred to me to make marinated hot dogs. Well, trust me, these hot dogs are delicious! They’re packed with flavor, and super moist!

This simple idea for hot dogs really spices up plain old beef hot dogs. There’s no reason to make boring dogs when you just have to ‘soak’ them for an hour to end up with something so much better.
Slicing your hot dogs before cooking helps ensure that the toppings don’t slide off. And that’s a good thing!
Spiral and smoke your hot dogs for even more great flavor and that big time ‘wow’!

Well no, I’ve never thought of marinating hot dogs …. but did you say worcestershire sauce???? 🙂
I used homemade Cajun seasoning instead of Creole. Marinate 7 hot dogs so I doubled the recipe. I’d never marinated hot dogs before but I will from now on. Great flavor and they smelled great while on the grill. Thanx for the fantastic recipe.
BTW, I used cheap, generic-like, pork hot dogs. This will be how I bbq hot dogs from now on. I may even try this marinade for fried hot dogs.
