  • Dip this chicken hot dog into the beaten egg and then place it on the flour mixture and coat all sides thoroughly.

  • Now take each hot dog bun at a time and cut it into half lengthwise. Apply softened butter on the cut side of both the pieces and toast it on a hot pan until brown and crispy.

  • Place the bottom half of the bun on your cutting board. Now, arrange some torn lettuce leaves and shredded cabbage on it. Place 2 chicken hot dog filling and spread some mustard sauce. Cover the chicken hot dog with the top half of the bun.
