Things I learned -- cornstarch definitely helps the batter adhere, don't have your oil too hot, the batter recipe makes enough batter to batter a case of hot dogs, not just one package. The coating is light and crispy, not at all cakey like carnival corn dogs. That all said, I added a little flour at the end and dropped the batter by spoonfuls into hot oil and made hush puppies with the leftover batter. All in all, a good, fun recipe to try.

The coating was a little thin, but I like it crispy. I read some other reviews and someone made hush puppies out of the batter so I followed suit. Man, oh, man!!! Best batter possible for that, definitely recommend

My family and I thought these were absolutely fantastic. Even my picky eater. To those who had trouble keeping the batter on.... did you let the batter sit for at least 10 minutes before dipping the hot dog in? This gives it a chance to thicken up some. And only use a very thin layer of corn starch. Too much and the batter will slide off. Good Eats to all !!

I made these for children and omitted the jalepenos and cayenne and it was a huge hit.

I love this recipe. It does not come out like a corn dog you would buy at the grocery store or a carnival, (it is not a thick, corn-meal coating but I think it's crispy and delicious. If you look at the pictures, you can tell it's not going to come out like that! You could definitely tweak the recipe and make it spicier. Another poster had a good idea to make the batter thicker. The batter is drippy and doesn't always want to stick, but I just kind of rub the dog around on its stick in a cup of batter, and well, it never seems to be a big issue for me. Too much corn starch definitely contributes to that problem, and a dry dog helps. I use mostly pork franks with skin and I've used kielbasa links. I've used the batter fresh and refrigerated overnight and used the next day. Definitely has a different consistency. I've made it probably a half-dozen times over the past few years. I love it. I'm going to make it with my nephews (11 & 8 tomorrow. Love it!

I'm sorry to say this failed in my book. The batter did not stick like you would imagine a corn dog to be. And I watched the video and read the comment but it came off like a slight crust on a hot dog. I was better off frying the hot dogs because that is basically what i got. The college kid does not approve this one. :(

I saw this episode three times. Love ya A.B. & love your show, but this recipe was a disaster. Followed it to a tee. Batter was way to runny not to mention I had about enough for 25 hot dogs. This led to a thin coating that resulted in a greasy mess. Tasted more like a fried hot dog than a corn dog. Overall taste fell flat as well. I also used wooden skewers which were more than atequate to support the dogs. Felt like I wasted my time and $. I am sure there are simpler recipies out there with fewer ingredients that would taste better.

We received a Food Network cookbook as a gift and my husband was so excited to try this recipe out... He was not disappointed! I am not sure what other people have done, but our batter was thick and using the corn starch really made the batter stick. We really enjoyed this recipe!

The best way to get the batter to stick properly is to dry the HD well- no cornstarch needed! I like to cook my dogs before battering as the batter tends to be done fast in an industrial fryer.
Lots of add ins to keep it interesting.

Happy frying!!
