Chicago char dogs recipe

    Chicago Char Dogs
    It turns out Chicago style hot dogs aren’t just boiled but they can be grilled as well. When they are grilled they are called Char Dogs. I have been to Chicago a few times but I have never tried the char dog before. The Char Dog is pretty much identical to the regular boiled Chicago dog but the difference is the hot dogs have an X shape cut into the ends and they are grilled. These hot dogs are topped with mustard, diced onion, tomato, pickle relish, dill pickle spears, celery salt and sport peppers. The bun that is to be used with these hot dogs is a poppy seed bun. There are not set ingredients amounts in this recipe, what is listed is simply what is required to make the Char Dogs. Enjoy.

    Southern bird dogs recipe

      Southern Bird Dogs
      These southern bird dogs are easy to prepare and are great for football season. Instead of using a hot dog, this recipe uses a fried chicken strip. The fried chicken strips are placed into a hot dog bun on top of bacon and topped with cheese and a honey mustard sauce. You can either bake the chicken strips or fry them in the deep-fryer. Using frozen chicken strips helps to save time. If you want to save additional time using pre-cooked bacon would be a good option. You can serve these southern bird dogs with French fries. Enjoy.
