Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray foil with cooking spray.

02

Step
2 mins

Stir 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, mustard, pepper, and cayenne together in a small bowl.

03

Step
8 mins

Slice chicken breast in half lengthwise, then slice each piece in half again. Align the thicker end of one piece of chicken with the thinner end of another, forming a consistent thickness that would fit into a hot dog bun. Repeat with remaining two pieces.

04

Step
3 mins

Transfer chicken to a plate and season chicken with kosher salt. Spread mayonnaise mixture over top and toss to coat.

05

Step
7 mins

Re-align chicken pieces and wrap each chicken "dog" with 2 slices bacon, making sure you don't wrap too tightly and that you tuck the ends of the bacon underneath the chicken. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

06

Step
20 mins

Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the bacon is browned and the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

07

Step
5 mins

Generously spread hot dog rolls with mayonnaise and add jalapeno slices. Place chicken dogs on rolls and top with barbecue sauce.

For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the chicken in your favorite barbecue sauce for at least 30 minutes before wrapping it in bacon.
If you like a sweeter flavor profile, consider using a honey barbecue sauce.
Serve with your favorite hot dog toppings such as relish, onions, or coleslaw.
