Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings: 25
Ingredients:
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 bottle (750ml) whiskey
- 25 beef hot dogs
- Toothpicks, for serving
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients – brown sugar, onion, whiskey, beef hot dogs, and toothpicks for serving.
-
Slice the Hot Dogs: Carefully slice each beef hot dog into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are large enough to be skewered with toothpicks but still manageable for guests to enjoy.
-
Simmer the Whiskey Sauce: In a large saucepan or skillet, combine the brown sugar, finely chopped onion, and the entire bottle of whiskey. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Cooking Time: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the sauce to bubble gently, infusing the flavors of the onion, brown sugar, and whiskey together.
-
Simmer Until Sticky: Let the sauce simmer for approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. As the mixture cooks, the flavors will meld, and the sauce will gradually thicken and become sticky, coating the hot dogs with irresistible flavor.
-
Skewer the Hot Dogs: Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency and the flavors have melded beautifully, it’s time to add the hot dogs. Skewer each bite-sized hot dog piece with a toothpick, making them easy to pick up and enjoy.
-
Coat with Sauce: Gently place the skewered hot dogs into the simmering whiskey sauce, ensuring each piece is coated generously with the sticky glaze.
-
Continue Simmering: Allow the hot dogs to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-10 minutes, soaking up the delicious flavors and caramelizing slightly around the edges.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the whiskey dogs are heated through and coated to perfection, transfer them to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a pop of color and flavor.
-
Enjoy Responsibly: Remember to enjoy these whiskey dogs responsibly, as the flavorful kick of whiskey adds an extra dimension to this classic dish.
Whiskey dogs are sure to be a hit at any gathering, offering a unique twist on traditional hot dogs that will have your guests coming back for seconds and thirds. So, gather your ingredients, fire up the stove, and get ready to savor the irresistible combination of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors in every bite! ๐๐
