Insert a wooden skewer lengthwise through the center of each hot dog, leaving a bit of skewer exposed at both ends for easy handling.

Hold the hot dog firmly at one end. Using a sharp knife, make a diagonal cut starting at one end of the hot dog. Angle the knife to cut all the way down to the skewer.

Continue to rotate the hot dog, maintaining the diagonal cut, until you reach the other end. The cuts should create a spiral pattern.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the spiral-cut hot dogs in the pan.

Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the hot dogs are crispy and golden brown.

Remove the hot dogs from the pan and let them drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Slide the hot dogs off the skewers. Add your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
