Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice hot dogs into 1½ inch pieces, drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, and sprinkle BBQ seasoning. Toss until coated.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread hot dog pieces in a single layer. Bake for about 15 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix BBQ sauce, brown sugar, honey, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until bubbling gently for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove baked hot dogs from the oven, transfer to a bowl, pour glaze over, and mix to coat each piece.
  5. Spread glazed hot dogs on the baking sheet, increase oven temp to 425°F (220°C), and bake for 10-15 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  6. After baking, let cool slightly, transfer to a serving platter, and garnish if desired before serving.
