Chef notes

I love this recipe because it can be prepped ahead and it's super easy to make. It also makes something as simple as a hot dog look and taste unbelievable.

Technique tip: A hot dog will start to split if over-cooked and you will see a lot of fat in the water.

Swap option: You can swap hot dog for a sausage or basically any other protein will be awesome in this recipe.
