8 hot dogs
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Dash of hot sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Slice hot dogs into 1-inch chunks and place them in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together BBQ sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and hot sauce.
Pour the sauce over the hot dogs and toss to coat thoroughly.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add coated hot dogs and sauté for 5–7 minutes until slightly charred.
Transfer hot dogs to the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the edges begin to crisp.
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with toothpicks or in a bowl.
