A Tropical Twist in Every Bite

Crafting the Perfect Hawaiian Hot Dog, Step by Step

Grill the Fruits and Vegetables

Begin by cutting the fruits and vegetables into large, grill-friendly pieces. Grill them to perfection, letting the heat work its magic. This step intensifies their sweetness, adds a smoky flavor, and enhances their texture. Once grilled, allow the fruits and vegetables to cool briefly. Then, cut them into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large bowl.

Mix Up the Salsa

Combine the cubed vegetables and fruits in a bowl. Gently mix to preserve the texture and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes.

Toast the Buns

Slice the King's Hawaiian Hot Dog Buns halfway vertically, keeping the top and bottom attached at one edge. Toast the inner sides on the grill for added crunch and sturdiness

Grill Hot Dogs and Assemble

Grill the hot dogs until slightly crispy on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. Assemble by placing each hot dog between the toasted buns and generously topping with the chilled salsa. Garnish with fresh herbs or green onions for an extra touch of flavor.

Dig In

No need for utensils – just grab a hot dog and take a satisfying bite. Indulge in the Hawaiian Hot Dog experience, where simplicity meets gourmet quality. From the grill to the table, these hot dogs bring the essence of the tropics to your taste buds. Share the joy of this delightful creation with friends and family, and revel in the perfect fusion of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors.
