Ingredients
  

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon sugar

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

1 cup finely chopped green chilies (choose mild or hot according to your spice preference)

12 mini hot dogs (or cocktail franks)

Oil for frying

Optional: Wooden skewers for easy handling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Use a whisk to mix well until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly blended.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined and smooth.

      Combine the Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it's important not to overmix. Fold in the finely chopped green chilies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. The final consistency should be thick yet pourable.

        Preheat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or heavy pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches a sizzling temperature of 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for the best results, as maintaining the right temperature is crucial for frying.

          Prepare Hot Dogs: If using wooden skewers, carefully insert a skewer into each mini hot dog, ensuring it goes in far enough for stability but leaves enough exposed for easy handling.

            Coat the Mini Dogs: Dip each mini hot dog into the prepared batter, rotating to ensure it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip back into the bowl.

              Fry the Corn Dogs: Gently lower the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.

                Drain the Corn Dogs: Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the corn dogs from the oil. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.

                  Serve & Enjoy: Serve your spicy mini green chili corn dogs hot and freshly made. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces, such as mustard, ketchup, or ranch dressing, for a delightful treat.
