Prep: 35 minutes
Cook : 6 minutes • Serves: 8
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons honey cornbread mix
2 teaspoons chipotle-garlic seasoning
4 (6-inch) PICS hot dogs, cut crosswise in half
8 (6-inch) wooden skewers
1 cup buttermilk
2 medium jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chipotle mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1.Attach deep fryer thermometer to side of medium saucepan; add oil and heat over medium heat 35 minutes or until oil temperature reaches 350˚.
2.In medium bowl, stir together cornbread mix and 1 teaspoon chipotle-garlic seasoning. Pat hot dogs dry with paper towel; insert skewers halfway into cut end of each hot dog and roll in cornbread mixture to lightly coat.
