Ingredients

• 8 pieces hot dogs
• 8 pieces hot dog buns
• 4 medium, finely chopped jalapeno peppers
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 medium, finely diced yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.

Step 2

Add the chopped jalapeno peppers, minced garlic, and diced onion to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen its flavor.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the honey, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well, and let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Meanwhile, heat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat. Add the hot dogs and cook for about 5 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are evenly browned.

Step 7

Toast the hot dog buns lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly crisp and warm.

Step 8

Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and carefully blend it with an immersion blender until smooth. (Be cautious as the sauce will be hot!)

Step 9

Place one cooked hot dog in each bun and spoon a generous amount of the hot jalapeno pepper sauce over the top.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the spicy, savory goodness!
