Instructions

Watch how to make this recipe.

Place the franks or chicken sausages in a medium skillet and add 1/2 inch water and about 1 tablespoon oil, 1 turn of the pan, to the skillet. Bring water to a boil then reduce heat to medium. In 10 minutes or so the water will cook off and the casings will begin to brown and crisp in the oil. Cook until casings are evenly browned, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Pour in the vinegar. Lean back when you add the vinegar - the fumes can burn your nasal passages a little. (Trust me on this.) Scatter in the brown sugar and toss to combine. Cook the vinegar off, 1 minute, and allow the sugar to coat the cabbage evenly. Taste to adjust seasonings.

Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Rose Wine

Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and rosé Wine are great choices for Hot Dogs. A Gewürztraminer will be great with your basic New York style hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut. For a Chicago-style dog with sour pickles and hot peppers, you might opt for a crisp Riesling. No matter your toppings, a dry rosé almost always works. One wine you could try is J.J. Prum Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese Riesling. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 56 dollars.
