Ingredients
Scale
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add bourbon and brown sugar to the skillet with the onions. Stir and cook until the liquid has reduced and the onions are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Wrap each hot dog with a slice of bacon. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Grill or bake the bacon-wrapped hot dogs until the bacon is crispy and the hot dogs are cooked through, turning occasionally, about 10-15 minutes.
- Brush the hot dogs with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Serve the hot dogs in buns topped with the bourbon onions.
Notes
- Ensure bacon is evenly wrapped around the hot dog for consistent cooking.
- Adjust bourbon and brown sugar for desired sweetness and flavor.
- For oven cooking, place hot dogs on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C).
