1
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees (F).
-
2
Lay the slices of bacon on a baking sheet, lined with foil, and place in the preheated oven, cooking for 15 minutes.
-
3
The goal is to not crisp the bacon, but bring it pretty darn close to being cooked.
-
4
Once cooked, remove, and pat dry with paper towel.
-
5
While the bacon is cooking, add everything but the hot dogs, skewers and the frying oil to a mixing bowl, and do just that, mix into a nice batter.
-
6
When you are ready to go, make sure you pat dry the wieners.
-
7
Straighten each hot dog out with your hand, and insert the skewer through the wiener, moving it all the way up, leaving enough to hold while you eat it.
-
8
Repeat.
-
9
Preheat your oil on the stove.
-
10
The goal is to reach a 375 degree pot of oil.
-
11
Do a test by dropping a small pinch of bread into the oil.
-
12
If it comes to a nice sizzle you should be good to go.
-
13
Wrap the bacon around each wiener, securing the best way you can.
-
14
If you need to move a toothpick through it, go ahead.
-
15
Just remove the toothpick when the dog is cooked.
-
16
Add the bacon wrapped wiener to the bowl of batter, spinning it around until the entire wiener is coated.
-
17
Keep spinning it, then carefully drop it into the oil.
-
18
Repeat, dropping about 2-3 dogs into each batch of oil.
-
19
These will cook up rather fast, and you are only looking at about a 4-6 minute cook time.
-
20
Cook until a golden brown, then remove, and place on a paper lined strainer.
-
21
Repeat until all of the wieners are cooked.
-
22
Plate with your favorite sauce.
-
23
Dip and bite.
-
24
Repeat.
-
25
Biting into this corn dog definitely yields a great surprise for anyone you serve it to.
-
26
My sons look on his face when he hit the bacon was worth a million dollars.
-
27
His eyes lit up, and a huge smile came on his face.
-
28
That alone made these worth making again, and again, and again.
-

Hope you enjoy.
