Cornmeal coating. Corn dogs get their name from the thick yellow cornmeal batter that coats them. When you deep fry this batter, it turns crispy and golden on the outside while the hot dog stays juicy inside.

American invention. Corn dogs were invented in the United States and became super popular as fair and carnival food. They're easy to eat on a stick while walking around and enjoying the fun.

Easy to eat. The wooden stick makes corn dogs perfect handheld food. You can grab one with your hand and eat it without needing a plate or fork.

Fair favorite. Today, corn dogs are classic carnival and county fair food that people look forward to eating every year. They're often served with ketchup, mustard, or other yummy toppings.
