Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Corn Dogs
Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally.

Drain and Serve
Remove the corn dogs from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
