Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop the batter from sliding off the corn dog?

Pat the filling dry and dust it with a little flour before dipping it in the batter. A thick batter also coats better.

Can I make the corn dogs without chicken?

Yes. Use only mozzarella sticks for a cheese corn dog, or mix in sweet corn and boiled potato for a vegetarian filling.
