Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients and have a baking dish ready.
  2. Slice hot dogs into uniform bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch thick.
  3. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cut hot dog pieces and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until slightly charred.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until well-mixed.
  5. Remove the hot dogs from the skillet and transfer them into the bowl with the sauce mixture. Toss well to coat evenly.
  6. Pour the coated hot dogs into a baking dish and spread them in a single layer. Bake for approximately 20-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the burnt ends cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving.
