Ingredients

• 8 pieces Frankfurters (hot dogs)
• 8 pieces Hot dog buns
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the ketchup, yellow mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, to create a tangy barbecue sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Using a knife, lightly score each frankfurter diagonally in a criss-cross pattern. This helps the sauce stick and allows the frankfurters to cook more evenly.

Step 5

Place the frankfurters on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently to achieve char marks on all sides.

Step 6

In the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the frankfurters generously with the prepared barbecue sauce and grill until sticky and caramelized.

Step 7

While the frankfurters are grilling, toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and warm.

Step 8

Remove the frankfurters and buns from the grill. Place one barbecued frankfurter in each bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately, and enjoy with your favorite toppings such as additional barbecue sauce, chopped onions, or relish.
