Ingredients

  • 2 (12 ounce) packages Zweigle's Chorizo chicken sausage - can also use hot dogs instead
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling chicken sausages in

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.

  3. Preheat the oil in a deep pot or saucepan over medium heat. Insert wooden skewers into the sausages about ⅔ of the way through.

  6. Dip the sausages in the batter in the jar/glass until well coated.
  7. Fry 2 or 3 corn dogs at a time until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain any excess grease on paper towels.
