Transform ordinary hot dogs into ghoulish fingers by carving fingernails and knuckles before pan-frying. Serve on buns with toppings hidden underneath to let the finger shape take center stage.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. For the fingernails, use a knife to cut a shape: first cut along both sides, then across the top, and finally a gentle curved cut at the bottom to form the nail bed. All cuts should be very shallow, around 1/8 of an inch deep.
  2. Carefully lift and remove that top piece of skin to reveal the nail.
  3. To create knuckles, make a single straight slit down the middle of the hot dog, then two crescent-shaped slits just above and below that center line.
  4. Coat a large frying pan with nonstick cooking spray and heat on medium-high. Cook the hot dogs until every side is done and lightly golden.
  5. Set up the buns with your preferred toppings, placing the toppings underneath so the 'finger' remains the star.
  6. Put each cooked hot dog finger into its bun.
