Ingredients
- 2 boxes corn muffin mix, 8 1/2 ounces each (recommended: Jiffy brand)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 stick butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chili powder, eyeball it in your palm
- 2 teaspoons cumin, eyeball it
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper sauce (recommended: Tabasco or Frank’s Red Hot
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 8 jumbo pork or beef franks
- Sweet Relish Slaw Salad, recipe follows
- 1 bag reduced fat potato chips (recommended: Cape Cod brand or Terra brand Garlic and Onion flavor Yukon chips)
- 1 cup sweet pickle relish
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar, eyeball it
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, eyeball it
- 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 bay leaves, dried
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 pound shredded cabbage salad (slaw salad mix with carrots and red cabbage, available in produce department marked “Cole Slaw Mix” in 1 pound packages)
- Salt and pepper
- 4 scallions, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a shallow dish, combine muffin mix with flour, then stir in eggs, milk and melted butter. Season the mix with chili powder, cumin, cayenne and scallions. The batter will be a thick, sticky biscuit dough. Place a hot dog in the bowl of batter and swoosh it around to coat it. Remove coated dog to a nonstick cookie sheet and use your fingers to spread batter on any exposed dog spots. Don’t coat it too thick, just shy of 1/2-inch should do the trick. If it’s too thick it will just slide off the dog while it’s baking, leaving the dog exposed. If that happens don’t sweat it, they will still taste great. Repeat until all 8 are coated. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until evenly deep brown all over.
- Serve the oven baked corn dogs with your favorite hot dog condiments. Serve with Sweet Relish Slaw Salad and with some baked or reduced-fat chips alongside the dogs.
- In the bottom of a medium, shallow bowl combine relish, vinegar, oil, garlic, bay and cloves. Let stand 5 minutes then fish out the garlic, bay and cloves. Add cabbage salad and toss, let stand 10 to 20 minutes in the refrigerator. Season salad with salt and pepper, toss in the scallions then serve.

I need accurate information, I had the problems everyone else did but I am going to try again, this time drying the dogs prior to dipping, not topping with extra batter after they are dipped and on the tray, baking at 425 until brown and I think the idea someone else had to make foil boats will a little cooking spray is a good idea.
P.S. use high quality dogs like “Fork in the Road” and it will taste better.

Horrible!! I read this out of one of her cook books and I seen that the recipe in the cook book DOES NOT have flour in it but this recipe does???
I did put on the batter thin and it still spread out like a cookie, horrible dry and crumbly
We ran out of frozen corn dogs and I thought frying them seemed like too big of a mess. I didnt have Jiffy so I used a Sweet Yellow cornbread mix. I only had 1 7oz bag so I mixed that with 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 c milk, 2tbls butter, and 1 egg. Then seasoned with everything but scallions and chili sauce since my baby would not have appreciated that. I had to take globs of batter and spread on the dog. It stuck just fine though. Its a good quick recipe if you run out of frozen.
P.S. For my sons party i made corn dog muffins. Super cute! Just follow directions on corn bread pack put 1tbls of batter in nonstick cupcake pan. Slice hotdogs 1/2 in thick and place 1-3 in the middle. Top with another 1tbls of batter and bake.

Wish I had read the reviews, I have a corndog mess on my cookie sheet. All the batter ran off. Will try again a different day, maybe.
I made these and they came out fine. No problem sticking to the dogs. They spread a little. My picky children ate them and my neighbor’s picky children ate them and they all liked them. I thought they had much more flavor than a frozen one.
I read the reviews before making this recipe as with all the recipe i do. I really dislike when a person does a recipe and does not come out right, They blame the recipes,Sometime you have to make it your own, I made these and they came out great!!! I did make some changes. Used 1and a half box of jiffy mix,1 half cup of flour,1half cup of self raising corn meal.No green onions in the house some i used 1 half of white onion and 1 cup of milk. seasoned to taste and they were just what i wanted.Will make again!! Thanks Rachael!!
these were god awful..bland…dry…followed the directions to the T..I guess there is a reason you fry corn dogs and not bake them
After reading the reviews I was kinda afraid to try the recipe but decided to go ahead and prepare it, big mistake, these were the most god awful things I ever tried to eat. I didnt have a problem with the batter sticking but the taste of it was very very bad. If you do decide to try it I would advise leaving out the spices.
I thought this was a great and easy recipe. I did have to dry the hot dogs with a paper towel first so they weren’t quite so slippery for the batter to stick. Otherwise I had no problems and it seems so much healthier than ones from the store or deep fried ones.
I’m glad I read the reviews first, especially the suggestion of making little “boats” out of aluminum foil because this pretty much saved the entire meal. I found they were very flavorful. My batter was pretty sticky so most of it stayed on the dog but there was some slippage during cooking. The slaw was great and added additional flavor to the meal. My husband loved them so I’m for sure making them again!
