Ingredients
  

4 hot dogs (of your choice)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 cup milk

1 egg

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup Korean rice flour (optional for extra crisp)

Oil for frying

Sweet chili sauce (for drizzling)

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, diced green onions, or crushed nuts

Instructions
 

Prepare the Hot Dogs: Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel. This ensures better adherence of the batter. Insert wooden skewers into each hot dog, leaving enough at the end to hold.

    Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and sugar. Separately, whisk together the milk and egg. Combine the wet and dry ingredients to form a smooth batter.

      Prepare for Frying: In another bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs (and the Korean rice flour if using). Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).

        Coat the Hot Dogs: Dip each skewered hot dog in the batter, letting any excess drip off. Then roll it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.

          Fry the Corn Dogs: Once the oil is hot, carefully lower 2-3 corn dogs into the oil at a time, frying until golden brown (about 3-5 minutes). Avoid overcrowding the pan. Use a slotted spoon to remove the corn dogs and drain them on paper towels.

            Serve: Drizzle sweet chili sauce over the crispy corn dogs, and sprinkle with any optional toppings of your choice.

              Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your homemade crispy Korean corn dogs!
