Notes
Cooking Times
- Regular hot dogs (thawed, refrigerated): 400°F for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway
- Frozen hot dogs: 400°F for 7–8 minutes total, flipping at least once
- Extra thick or jumbo dogs: Add 1–2 extra minutes
- Mini cocktail hot dogs: 3–4 minutes
More tips:
- Want them extra crisp? Add 1–2 more minutes and check closely.
- Cooking from frozen? Flip once thawed and give them a little extra time.
- Always score them: It helps with even cooking and better texture.
- Upgrade the toppings: Ketchup and mustard are classics, but sauerkraut, BBQ sauce, diced onions, pickles, or shredded cheese all work well.
