Follow these simple steps to create your amazing marinated grilled hot dogs:

1. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper.
2. Prepare Hot Dogs: Place the hot dogs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
3. Marinate: Pour the marinade over the hot dogs, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to a few hours for even better flavor.
4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure that it’s perfectly hot for grilling.
5. Grill Hot Dogs: Remove hot dogs from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the hot dogs for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently to achieve an even char and grill marks.
6. Check for Doneness: Cook until the hot dogs are heated through and have nice grill marks. Some prefer them slightly crispy for added texture.
7. Serve Hot: Remove hot dogs from the grill and serve them immediately.
