What to Serve With This Recipe
I love pairing these BBQ hot dogs with classic potato chips for a satisfying crunch, or grilled corn on the cob for a sweet, smoky addition. A revitalizing cucumber salad balances the flavors, while garlic butter vegetables add a savory touch. Don’t forget homemade pickle spears – they’re tangy and perfect for cutting through the richness.
Classic Potato Chips
Classic potato chips are the ultimate sidekick for BBQ hot dogs, adding that perfect crunch to every bite. I love how their salty simplicity balances the smoky, tangy flavors of the dogs. Experiment with potato chip flavors like sea salt, barbecue, or sour cream and onion for variety. Pair them with classic dips like ranch or French onion for an extra layer of fun. They’re easy, satisfying, and always a hit.
Grilled Corn on Cob
Nothing screams summer quite like grilled corn on the cob, especially when it’s got that perfect char and a smoky, buttery flavor. I love experimenting with grilling techniques, like rotating it for even browning or soaking it beforehand to keep it juicy. Sweet corn varieties, like bicolor or silver queen, work best. Slather it with butter, sprinkle some salt, and you’ve got a side that feels like freedom on a plate.
Refreshing Cucumber Salad
After enjoying that smoky grilled corn, it’s tough to top—but an invigorating cucumber salad comes pretty close. I love mixing cucumber varieties, like English and Persian, for texture. Toss them with a zesty salad dressing—think lemon, olive oil, and a hint of dill—for brightness. It’s crisp, cool, and the perfect counter to rich BBQ flavors. Trust me, it’ll make your meal feel complete.
Garlic Butter Vegetables
Transform your BBQ spread with garlic butter vegetables—they’re a game-changer. I love tossing a colorful vegetable medley—like zucchini, bell peppers, and carrots—in sizzling garlic butter. It’s simple, flavorful, and lets the veggies shine. They’re the perfect side to balance smoky hot dogs with fresh cilantro slaw. Plus, they cook fast, so you’re free to focus on the grill. Trust me, your guests will crave seconds!
Homemade Pickle Spears
Homemade pickle spears are a tangy, crunchy addition that can really elevate your BBQ hot dogs with cilantro slaw. I love using crisp cucumber varieties like Kirby or Persian for their firm texture. With simple pickle preservation methods, like brining with vinegar, salt, and spices, you can create bold flavors that complement the smoky, savory notes of the hot dogs. They’re easy to make and totally worth the effort!

Can I Grill the Hot Dogs Instead?
Like a handyman trusting his tools, I’ve found that grilling techniques can elevate any hot dog variety. I’ve grilled my fair share, and I’m confident you can grill yours for a smoky, delicious bite.
How Long Does the Slaw Stay Fresh?
I’d store the slaw in an airtight container in the fridge; it’ll stay fresh for about 2-3 days. For ideal slaw freshness, keep it chilled, and avoid letting it sit out too long. Enjoy it while it’s crisp!
Can I Substitute Cilantro With Another Herb?
I’m all for swapping cilantro if it’s not your thing—herb alternatives like parsley or basil can step in, offering fresh flavor profiles that still shine. It’s your dish, so choose what feels right and makes it yours.
