Preparation

Step 1

1. Make the honey mustard: In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon and honey until smooth.

2. Make the jalapeño slaw: In another bowl, toss the pickled jalapeños, pickling liquid, red cabbage, cilantro and salt to incorporate. Let sit for 10 minutes.

3. Assemble the hot dogs: On each freshly toasted bun, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Monterey Jack cheese on the bottom, then top each with a hot dog straight from the grill. Drizzle a squiggle of honey mustard down the center of each hot dog, spoon the jalapeño slaw on one side and place 3 fried pickles on the other, then serve

Pickle Chips:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, coriander and cayenne. Mix in the egg followed by the beer to form a smooth batter.

2. In a 4-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375º and line a plate with paper towels. Working in batches, dip the pickle slices into the batter, then slowly drop into the oil. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a
slotted spoon, transfer the pickle chips to the prepared plate to drain. Immediately season with kosher salt. Transfer to a platter and serve.
