Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Ají de gallina sauce — If you can't find Peruvian yellow chili peppers, you can substitute with a mix of yellow bell peppers and a small amount of spicy chili pepper to achieve a similar flavor profile.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra smoky flavor, grill the hot dogs over charcoal.
  • If you prefer a milder spice level, adjust the amount of ají de gallina sauce to your taste.
  • Add a squeeze of lime juice over the hot dog for an additional burst of freshness.

Serving advice

Serve the Chifa-inspired Coney Dogs with a side of crispy French fries or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
