    To make Hasselback hot dogs, place a single hot dog between two chopsticks. Use a small paring knife to cut slits down the hot dog every 1/4-inch. The chopsticks will stop you from cutting all the way through the hot dogs.

    Grill hot dogs normally for 4-5 minutes per side until they are crispy and curled. Toast hot dog buns on grill at the same time as the hot dogs.
