“Game Changer: Hot Dog Rings Just Changed the Ring Game!”
I love hot dogs. Let's face it, they are a North American classic. One would have to say a borderline comfort food. I can't count the dogs I've had a picnics, barbecues, ball games, just to mention a few places. They come in so many shapes and forms with a myriad of toppings. But can you imagine crispy hot dog rings. Yes, a hot dog sliced, dipped in a superb batter, coated with bread crumbs, and deep fried. If you can, then these super crispy hot dog rings are for you. I have to say, they are the ultimate street and party food.
I always love party and street food. Especially when they are easy to make at home. These super easy crispy hot dog rings are just the ticket for any occasion. I always serve them up for game nights and everybody devours them.

- 4 medium wieners sliced into 6 sections each
- 24 medium tooth pics
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup cold water (vary depending on how thick you want the batter)
- 2 cups Panko bread crumbs
- 2 cups oil for frying
- 1/2 cup ketchup for serving
Slice the hot dogs lengthwise into 3 pieces and slice them in half. Grab one slice and form it into a circle so it overlaps about 1/4 of an inch. Insert a tooth pick trough each so a circle forms. Set aside.
In a separate bowl add the flour, corn starch, seasoning, egg, and a bit of the water. Begin to whisk and continue adding water, a bit at a time, until a fairly thick batter forms. Think enough to coat the wieners.
Add the bread crumbs to a separate bowl.
Dredge the hot dog rings into the batter until they are coated and then into the bread crumbs until coated. Set aside.
Heat oil in a pan until it reaches between 329 F and 350 F - about 180 C. Fry the hot dog rings until golden brown. This won't take long. About 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Set aside on a wire rack.
Serve your hot dog rings with ketchup and enjoy.
