Things To Grab
- Small saucepan
- Paring knife
- Large nonstick stick skillet
- Instant-read thermometer
Directions
Trim one end of each hot dog to fit the length of a hot dog bun. Use a paring knife to carve an area on the untrimmed end of each hot dog for a fingernail. Mark fingerlike joints on each hot dog by making shallow horizontal cuts.
Cook hot dogs in a large nonstick stick skillet over medium heat until evenly browned and heated through (165 degrees).
To decorate, cut fingernail shapes form thin pieces of cooked onion. Insert onion nails on the hot-dog carved areas for fingernails. Place hot dogs in buns and drizzle with ketchup.
