Equipment

1 sheet pan
1 knife

Ingredients

8-12 hot dogs
8-12 hot dog buns

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with foil. Set aside.
Using a sharp knife, cut lengthwise along the hot dog, making the cut about 1/3 of the way thru only so it can expand. Place the hot dogs, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 6-10 minutes or until hot dogs are split open and the outside just begins to get crispy. Remove from oven and serve immediately in buns.

Notes

Baked Hot Dogs in Buns

If you want to bake them inside the buns you would follow the same directions as above. Place sliced dog inside the bun with the slice facing up and bake for the same cook time as usual.

Frozen Hot Dogs in Oven

Cook time remains the same however you need to make sure that they are separated from one another first. Still use a knife to slice it so steam can escape (as much as possible). I would not put these inside buns as the moisture will make the buns soggy.
