Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Firecracker Hot Dogs
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the hot sauce, brown sugar, melted butter, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the ingredients are well combined and the sugar is mostly dissolved. Set aside for later use.
  2. Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat and add the hot dogs. Cook them slowly for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have a crispy exterior.
  3. Once the hot dogs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and place them on a serving dish. Using a basting brush, generously coat each hot dog with the prepared firecracker sauce.
  4. Transfer the sauced firecracker hot dogs to a warm platter and garnish with your favorite toppings. Serve immediately to your guests.
