Everyone knows that mini hot dogs rule the roost when it comes to appetizers, but it doesn't have to be all about pigs in a blanket. Party Franks leave the buns behind, instead coating the meaty, savory dogs with a tangy, sweet, and smoky sauce with just a touch of spice that you'll want to lick off your fingers, off the plate, and even off the toothpicks. A hint of lemon and mustard adds a lovely brightness and sourness that brings out the most in the sausage flavors. Party Franks somehow makes enough for everyone and yet leaves everyone wanting more. Best to make two batches then!
