Points to Consider Before Deep Frying a Hot Dog
I would say that it is very easy to deep fry a hot dog. But, there are a few elements you need to take into account.
- What do you use to deep fry your hot dog? (Deep fryer or a pot/pan)
- What temp to deep fry hot dogs?
- For how long do the hot dogs need to deep fry?
- Deep frying your hot dogs thawed or frozen? I suggest thawing.
- Do you plan to coat the hot dog before putting it in oil? (Coat it in batter or maybe even wrap it in bacon)
How Long do you Deep Fry Hot Dogs
If you have experience with deep frying, you might know that frozen hot dogs are a little tricky to cook compared to thawed hot dogs. They really don’t cook as well as they will a thawed hot dog. Deep frying of thawed hot dogs is certainly recommended for even a chef.
If you plan to deep fry a frozen hot dog, though, simply bring it in the deep fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for one or two minutes, take it out and break it in half lengthwise, and return it for another one or two minutes to the fryer.
A thawed hot dog can be deep-fried in a fryer for two-four minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Depending on the crispiness and brownness you prefer, decide how long you keep it inside.
Equipment to use to Deep Fry Hot Dogs
Chances are, you have got everything you need to deep-fried a hot dog currently. Just about anything can be used to deep fry, all you’d need is a tiny bit of oil and a power outlet. The hot dogs do not have a lot of height if you lay a hot dog flat, but you might only use a pretty short pot/pan. I do suggest something with a lid if you intend to fully drench the hot dogs for a "deep fry." Nevertheless, try using a deep fryer when you do not have a decent pot or pan to use.
