Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 hot dog buns
- ½ cup catsup
Instructions
- To make the finger nails, score the two sides of the "nail", then a slight curved or crescent slice across the top and bottom, in the shape of a finger nail. Use a sharp knife and remove the thin strips to make a nail bed.
- Next make the knuckle lines, simply score the three to four slices or small lines for each "knuckle". Be careful not to slice completely thru the hot dog.
- Tear off the end of each hot dog to make them appear "severed".
- Grill lengthwise on the grill for about two minutes per side until the dogs are blistered and heated through.
- Dip the end of the hot dog in ketchup to get the bloody effect and splatter some on the dogs and buns. The goal is to make them look like a bloody finger - eek!
- Place each dog in a hot dog bun and on a big platter with additional toppings if desired. Enjoy this and have fun with it!
