Author’s Note: I bought these corn dogs with my own dad-gum money.<\/em> I have no affiliation with Foster Farms<\/a> or Costco<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decisions were made.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These were on sale. So I bought them. Did I need<\/em> a 3.5 pound sack of them? Of course not. But here we are. Decisions were made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breading texture and flavor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The breading is a bit less “plump” than what the product picture suggests. I do like the crispy outer texture, but it lacks that sinful, oily crunch (followed by moist cornbread satisfaction) that a full-size fried corn dog has. Just a tad drier, and less “rounded” in flavor. There’s a lightly sweet “honey” taste, but not much past that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the upside, these doggies aren’t drowning in too much<\/em> breading. It could certainly be worse.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hot dog quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The miniature hot dogs are made from chicken, which surprised me. I wouldn’t have been able to guess the meat origin. They have a smooth, mechanical taste. They’re not unpleasant, but not memorable either. It’s acceptably juicy meat, but fairly dense. They don’t have as much rich smokey flavor as some hotdogs, but they’re fine<\/em>. Especially when dipped in a smokey BBQ sauce. Behold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sauce helps the flavor. Natch.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I did<\/em> prefer to eat these corn dogs after they’d cooled down for at least 1o minutes. Both to avoid burning my mouth, and because the flavors seem to taste better after they’ve “married.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ate mine with Aldi Burman’s Gold BBQ Sauce<\/a>, which has a tangy-sweet mustard satisfaction. This is my second-favorite BBQ sauce, BTW. What’s my first-favorite? It’s this Kansas City BBQ Sauce<\/a>. Now you know.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Party food or snack time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Size-wise, these mini corn dogs are less than 2 inches long. They make great finger food. For when your fingers are hungry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are having a casual party, these are a simple, quick alternative to pigs in blankets. They’re self-contained enough to be easy to pick up, and they’re not overly greasy or messy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
