Ingredients
- 8 pieces Wieners or hot dogs
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 pieces Skewers (wooden or metal)
Directions
Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 2
Place a wiener on a cutting board. Insert a skewer lengthwise through the center of the wiener, ensuring it goes end to end.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, make an angled cut at the top of the wiener. Carefully rotate the wiener while maintaining the knife's angle to make a continuous spiral cut down its length. Repeat with remaining wieners.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, and paprika. Brush this mixture lightly over the wieners to add flavor and prevent sticking.
Step 5
Preheat grill to medium heat or prepare a grill pan on the stovetop over medium heat.
Step 6
Place the skewered wieners on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and grill marks appear.
Step 7
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the wieners generously with barbecue sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Step 8
Remove the wieners from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve hot with your favorite buns, additional barbecue sauce, or as a fun appetizer!
