Choose High-Quality Hot Dogs:
Opt for all-beef or premium sausages for the best flavor.
Preheat the Grill:
Ensure your grill is hot before cooking to prevent sticking.
Grill Over Medium Heat:
Avoid direct flames to prevent burning while cooking evenly.
Turn Frequently:
Rotate hot dogs every 1-2 minutes to ensure even grill marks.
Use Tongs, Not a Fork:
Avoid puncturing the skin, which can cause juices to escape.
Cook to 160°F:
Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safety and flavor.
Toast the Buns:
Lightly toast buns on the grill for a crisp, warm texture.
