Hot Dog Burnt Ends

If you’ve never made or tried burnt ends, I highly recommend them. As great as smoked brisket is, burnt ends are brisket candy. Highly addicting, they are a real treat. But hey, they do take time and brisket isn’t always the cheapest cut. So what to do if you want to feed a crowd of some meat candy without breaking the bank? Yep, you guessed it: hot dog burnt ends. Smoked hot dogs covered in a caramelized sauce, you’ll never eat those little sausage thingies again. Perfect for a party, these goodies will disappear in no time.

Easy But With A Big Reward

There’s absolutely nothing challenging about making these hot dog burnt ends. If you don’t have a smoker (I love my Weber smoker!) you can make the entire dish on a grill. You can even use a gas grill. If you do, I recommend you use a smoky BBQ sauce to add a little of that great I-made-these-on-a-smoker even-though-I-didn’t flavor.

Equipment

Disposable Pan

Ingredients

16 hot dogs no need to get the expensive stuff here
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons your favorite BBQ rub
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup your favorite BBQ sauce

Instructions

Fire up your smoker for 225 F. Use any wood you like, these turn out great whether they are smoked over fruit wood or a stronger wood such as mesquite.
Squeeze the mustard over the dogs then brush around all sides. (I found it easier to just spread the mustard with my hands).
Sprinkle the rub over all sides of the dogs.
Transfer to your smoker and smoke for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, fire up your grill for medium heat cooking (or pre-heat your oven to 375 F).
Remove dogs and cut into thirds (about 1 1/2" pieces).
Transfer to a disposable pan.
Combine the butter, brown sugar and BBQ sauce and pour over the hot dogs.
Stir and place on your grill (or in the oven).
Cook dogs an addition 30-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the hot dogs have begun to caramelize.
Remove and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve with warmed BBQ sauce for dipping, if desired.

Parmesan Chicken Bites

My wife mentioned these Parmesan chicken bites the other day. I made them a long time ago and posted them on our old blog, Crossroads of America, and somehow had forgotten about them. That’s a shame because they’re really great. They aren’t nuggets like you might think. And they aren’t crunchy because they aren’t fried. They have a light coating, with a great herb-and-butter flavor. They are very addictive. Bite after bite, you’ll find yourself unable to stop eating them. The flavors are amazing. So make a double batch. You’ll be glad that you did.

Flavor-Packed Nuggets Of Happiness

I continued the herb theme and served these Parmesan chicken bites with a cool Ranch dressing for dipping. A Dijon dipping sauce also works great, as does blue cheese dressing. These little yummy morsels are a great alternative to deep-fried chicken nuggets. They are a bit more difficult to pick up with your fingers, so be prepared to serve them with small appetizer forks.

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.
