BBQ Sundays are Back at Eagle Leather Starting this Sunday for the Rest of Summer!
BBQ
Sundays at Eagle Leather are back! Ride in and grab a frank fresh off
the grill. No need to bring anything but your bike and an appetite… and
here at Eagle Leather, we know how to cook’em right!
Hot
dogs are as American as motorcycles and Coca-Cola. They can be eaten
boiled, steamed, poached, baked, or even raw – but nothing beats one
fresh off the grill! Use the below grilling tips to cook the best
grilled franks, every time.
Once
the grill is searing hot, grab your tongs and place the dogs on the
grill perpendicular to the grate. This will give the dogs nice grill
lines and enhance their flavor. Spacing is key here – you’re going to
need room to roll them back and forth to ensure even cooking. We
recommend rolling every 1-2 minutes, depending on how hot your grill
gets.
Have patience – removing your dogs too early won’t
hurt you, but you won’t get the best flavor out of them either. Wait
until they all have dark brown – black grill lines. What you are
looking for is called the Maillard Reaction – which is what gives grilled foods their great flavor.
Keeping with the Maillard Reaction
theme, make sure to toast the hot dog buns. That’s what give toast
that great flavor… way better than plain ol’ bread! To avoid burning
the buns, shift your charcoal to one side of the grill and place the
buns on the opposite side of the grate. When they start to brown,
rotate them 90 degrees for an additional 30 seconds or so.
Now all that’s left to do is combine your perfectly cooked dog with your perfectly browned bun and add your favorite toppings!
Yet, there’s no denying it: Unless you plan to ride exclusively around the Southern United States, you’ll face some chilly winters. And even before it...
