Bacon wrapped chili cheese dogs are a delicious and over-the-top meal that is perfect for special occasions or lazy weekends. Just imagine a hot dog, wrapped in crispy bacon, smothered in chili, cheese, and all your favorite toppings. To create the perfect bacon wrapped chili cheese dog, you'll need a few key ingredients and a little bit of time. First, you'll need to choose the right hot dogs. Any type of hot dog will work, but a thicker hot dog will hold up better to the toppings and cooking process. Next, you'll need to find some good bacon. Thick-cut bacon will give you the best results, but any type of bacon will work. Finally, you'll need to gather up your favorite chili and cheese toppings.

BACON WRAPPED CHILI DOGS
Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium heat, once it hits medium heat then reduce to low. I like cooking these slower over lower heat to ensure less flare ups from the bacon.
- Wrap your hot dogs in bacon. Stick a toothpick through the bacon and hot dog when you first start wrapping to secure it in place, then wrap so you cover all the hot dog with bacon. It took me two strips of bacon per hot dog. I use big beef hot dogs. As you start the second strip use another toothpick to secure it in place, then one at the end where you stop. Each hot dog will have 3 to 5 toothpicks in it to ensure the bacon stays on while it cooks.
- Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook over low heat until the bacon cooks to your preference. Lower heat means less flare ups, it may take longer to cook but there's less chance of burning them so it's a good way to go. I cooked mine for about 8 minutes, yours will vary from about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your heat level, and how well done you like your bacon.
- While the hot dogs are cooking heat up your chili. Set aside till needed.
- Once the bacon wrapped hot dogs are cooked you can remove them from the grill. Then carefully remove all the toothpicks.
- Place your bacon wrapped hot dogs on buns, layer lots of chili over top, then top with onions and cheese.
- Serve with a big old bacon loving smile!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray foil with cooking spray.
- Stir 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, mustard, pepper, and cayenne together in a small bowl.
- 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.
- Transfer chicken to a plate and season chicken with kosher salt. Spread mayonnaise mixture over top and toss to coat.
- 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.
- 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).
- Generously spread hot dog rolls with mayonnaise and add jalapeno slices. Place chicken dogs on rolls and top with barbecue sauce.
