Bacon Wrapped Teriyaki Hot Dogs with Pineapple Salsa and a Giveaway! (GIVEAWAY CLOSED)

I grew up loving King’s Hawaiian bread. I would always snack on the sweet rolls by itself, unable to stop myself until my mother took the bag away from me. And of course, this snacking habit carried on until today.

Just the other day, I found a bag of their hamburger buns and I snacked on a couple before I headed off to work. Then, when I came home, Jason made some burgers and we didn’t have enough buns so we had to use english muffins instead.

Oops.

Just recently I found out that King Hawaiian had a line of hot dog buns too. So in honor of the Superbowl, which is just 2 weeks away, I couldn’t help but bring you a Hawaiian-type hot dog as the perfect Superbowl party food. These hot dogs are loaded with freshly made pineapple salsa and a homemade teriyaki drizzle, all on top of an applewood smoked bacon-wrapped dog.

It was such a wonderful combo of sweetness from the buns with a refreshing burst from the pineapple along with a hint of spiciness from the jalapeños. I guarantee that one of these hot dogs will not be enough. I attempted to eat 3 but I think I capped out at 2.

Either way, I’ll be sure to make this again and again, even after football season is over.

That is, if I ever stop eating the buns beforehand!
