  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • High-heat oil for deep frying

Instructions

Cooking:

  2. Dip the skewered hot dogs into the batter, ensuring they are completely coated.
  3. Roll the coated corn dogs in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Carefully add the corn dogs to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy, turning as needed.
  5. Remove them from the oil and let them rest on a wire rack.
