Instructions
Baking Method:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking oil.
Prepare the Hot Dogs and Dough:
Cut each hot dog into bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch each).
Roll out the crescent dough and press the perforations to seal them. Cut the dough into small squares that are just large enough to wrap around the hot dog pieces.
Assemble the Nuggets:
Wrap each hot dog piece with a square of dough, pinching the dough together to seal. Place each wrapped nugget seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
Frying Method:
Heat Oil:
Pour enough oil into a deep fryer or a large pot to reach a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Hot Dogs and Dough:
Follow the same steps as the baking method to cut the hot dogs and prepare the dough.
Fry the Nuggets:
Carefully place the dough-wrapped hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve:
Use a slotted spoon to remove the nuggets from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
