Sweet & Tangy Spiral Dogs

OK, I just had to grill something today.  Not having much time, I grabbed a pack of hot dogs and a wooden skewer.  I could have just thrown the dogs on the grill but that would have been boring.  So I insert the skewer through each dog and the cut the meat to the skewer in a spiral pattern while twisting.  Sorry, I didn't think about taking pictures until the last bite was going in my mouth.  Anyway, now I have the boring hot dog cut in a spiral pattern.  It still needs something to be creative.  I mixed up a glaze to baste over them while they are cooking.  I didn't measure any ingredients but here is what I used.

Sweet & Tangy Glaze (Guesstimate)
Brown Sugar (4 TBS)
Mustard  (2 TBS)
Worcestershire Sauce (2 tsp)
Onion Powder  (dash)
Garlic Powder  (dash)

I basted them down before putting them on the grill and then once more while they were on the grill.  I cooked them over low indirect heat until they were almost done. Then I moved them over the hot grates for the last few minutes and the glaze caramelized nicely.

Served them up with normal fixins and they were actually pretty good.  It added a nice "twist" to a boring hot dog.
