Spice up your next cookout with a bold twist on a classic favorite—Buffalo Hot Dogs! These fiery, flavor-packed hot dogs bring the perfect balance of heat and tang with a zesty buffalo sauce that takes ordinary hot dogs to a whole new level. Topped with creamy blue cheese dressing, crunchy celery, and a drizzle of extra sauce for good measure, each bite delivers that signature buffalo wing taste in a fun, handheld form.

How to make Buffalo Hot Dogs
- Start by cooking your favorite hot dogs on the grill, or by following the instructions on the package.
- Mix to combine the coleslaw mix, green onion, parmesan cheese and blue cheese dressing in a bowl.
- Line the inside of the hot dog buns with the prepared coleslaw. Place a cooked wiener in the hot dogs and then top them with sliced celery pieces.
- Drizzle the hot dogs with buffalo sauce. Garnish with crispy onion and/or crumbled blue cheese.
Substitutions
- Wiener - Use you favorite type of wiener, whether it is meat, or veggie.
- Bun - Change out the brioche bun with any regular hot dog bun or even a gluten free bun if need be.
- Ranch Dressing - If blue cheese is not your thing, I recommend using Ranch dressing.
Storage
Store the wieners, coleslaw and buns separately so that the buns do not get soggy and you can warm up the wieners. Place in airtight containers and refrigerate for 2-3 days. I do not recommend freezing the prepared coleslaw.
