Ingredients

2 boxes corn muffin mix, 8 1/2 ounces each (recommended: Jiffy brand)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 tablespoon chili powder, eyeball it in your palm
2 teaspoons cumin, eyeball it
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper sauce (recommended: Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot
2 scallions, finely chopped
8 jumbo pork or beef franks
Sweet Relish Slaw Salad, recipe follows
1 bag reduced fat potato chips (recommended: Cape Cod brand or Terra brand Garlic and Onion flavor Yukon chips)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a shallow dish, combine muffin mix with flour, then stir in eggs, milk and melted butter. Season the mix with chili powder, cumin, cayenne and scallions. The batter will be a thick, sticky biscuit dough. Place a hot dog in the bowl of batter and swoosh it around to coat it. Remove coated dog to a nonstick cookie sheet and use your fingers to spread batter on any exposed dog spots. Don't coat it too thick, just shy of 1/2-inch should do the trick. If it's too thick it will just slide off the dog while it's baking, leaving the dog exposed. If that happens don't sweat it, they will still taste great. Repeat until all 8 are coated. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until evenly deep brown all over.

Serve the oven baked corn dogs with your favorite hot dog condiments. Serve with Sweet Relish Slaw Salad and with some baked or reduced-fat chips alongside the dogs.

Sweet Relish Slaw Salad:

1 cup sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup cider vinegar, eyeball it
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, eyeball it
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves, dried
3 whole cloves
1 pound shredded cabbage salad (slaw salad mix with carrots and red cabbage, available in produce department marked "Cole Slaw Mix" in 1 pound packages)
Salt and pepper
4 scallions, sliced

In the bottom of a medium, shallow bowl combine relish, vinegar, oil, garlic, bay and cloves. Let stand 5 minutes then fish out the garlic, bay and cloves. Add cabbage salad and toss, let stand 10 to 20 minutes in the refrigerator. Season salad with salt and pepper, toss in the scallions then serve.

Wrong temp!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Not only does Rachel not add the 1 cup of flour in the video, the temp of the oven she uses is 375 but the recipe has it... listed as 425--come on Food Network, get it together!Read more

Don't add the extra cup of flour
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The reason that the recipe that is given on here doesn't work well for everyone is because it tells you to add a cup of... flour. On the show, she doesn't add the extra cup of flour. I even re-watched it to make sure. I made them without it and they turned out great. I made little foil trays to lay each dog in. It kept things neat and clean. I hope this helps!Read more

Hubby loved them... me, not so much
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

They looked SO good and SO easy when Rachael made them! They were neither in my book. The batter got everywhere, I even... dropped a blob of it on my sock. Of course I didn't realize it so I trekked it all over the kitchen floor. LOL I figured with all the chili powder, cumin and hot sauce that they'd be really spicey - but they weren't. They were kind of bland. Rachaels were perfect and browned all the way around. Mine were dried out and cracked all over the place (yes, I added a little extra milk but other than that I followed the recipe to the T, even used the suggested muffin mix). Hubby loved the taste (of course.. he always likes the stuff I don't, and visa versa). He would eat them twice a week if I would make them. Sorry honey... I think that was my first and last try for the oven baked corn dogs.Read more

Better with honey!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love corn dogs, but I prefer the honey taste. So I odidn't use the seasonings and after baked brushed the corn dogs with a... mixture of warm honey and water.Read more

no yumo
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This was such a miss I am considering dumping my other Rachael recipes. The baked consistancy was too fluffy for a corndog. ... I think the muffin mix is a bad start and makes them too much like a hotdog filled muffin. I got the batter to wrap around the dog and stay but it was almost a fight. My husband complained about the spices. I think I will go check out my mother's old cookbooks for her recipe. Sorry, we really wanted them to be good. Read more
