Crispy “Crack” Dogs Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 8 hot dogs (preferably 100% beef, pork, or a mix with no fillers)
  • 1/2 cup crushed pork rinds (for coating)
  • 2 large eggs (whisked, for coating)
  • 2 tbsp beef tallow, bacon grease, or butter (for greasing the pan or frying)
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp salt or smoked paprika (if allowed and desired for added flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
    • Place the crushed pork rinds in a shallow dish.
    • In another dish, whisk the eggs until smooth.
  2. Coat the Hot Dogs:
    • Dip each hot dog into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
    • Roll the egg-coated hot dog in the crushed pork rinds until completely covered. Press gently to help the coating stick.
  3. Cook the Hot Dogs:
    • Oven Method:
      • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
      • Place the coated hot dogs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
      • Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
    • Pan-Fry Method:
      • Heat beef tallow, bacon grease, or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
      • Place the coated hot dogs in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, turning carefully with tongs until the pork rind coating is crispy and golden brown.
  4. Cool and Serve:
    • Once cooked, let the hot dogs rest for 2–3 minutes to cool slightly.
    • Serve as-is or with a carnivore-friendly dipping sauce, like melted cheese, sour cream, or whipped bone marrow.

Pro Tips:

  • Extra Crunch: For an even crunchier coating, double-dip the hot dogs in the egg and pork rinds before cooking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
  • Flavor Variations: Add Parmesan cheese to the pork rind mixture for an extra cheesy crunch or sprinkle in a dash of garlic powder if your diet allows.

These Crispy “Crack” Dogs are a perfect carnivore-friendly treat—crispy, flavorful, and packed with protein. They’re great as snacks, appetizers, or even a main course. Enjoy the crunch! 🌭🐖
