Last summer I usedHead Country Bar-B-Qsauce and seasoning to make a slow cooker full of amazing pulled pork that I then turned intoPulled Pork and Cornbread Shooters.
Recently they asked me to create another recipe and video for them, and immediately the idea of pulled pork fries came to mind. My plan was to make pulled pork, flatten it out in a glass dish, freeze it and cut it into French fry shapes that I’d then bread and deep fry. When I pitched the idea to Head Country though they responded with an idea of their own that was way better– Pulled Pork Corn Dogs!
I’ve made regular corn dogs plenty of times in the past and they’ve always turned out great, but when I sat down to plan out a pulled pork version it took me a little while to figure out how to best make it happen. My original plan was to use plastic wrap to form pulled pork around corn dog sticks, which I’d then freeze, batter and deep fry. After a quick Amazon search though I came across a silicone popsicle mold
that ended up working absolutely perfectly for this recipe!
Once I had the popsicle mold the process to make the corn dogs was super easy. I picked up a pork shoulder from the grocery store, seasoned it with Head Country’s High Plains Heat seasoning, added a cup of their Original BBQ sauce and cooked it on high for four hours in my slow cooker. I then packed the pulled pork into the popsicle mold, froze it, transferred it onto corn dog sticks, coated them in flour, dipped them in batter and deep fried them.
After seeing how well these Pulled Pork Corn Dogs turned out I’m now racking my brain trying to think of all the other foods I can turn into corn dogs. Macaroni and cheese corn dogs? Sure! Hot ham and cheese corn dogs? Absolutely! The possibilities are endless!

Dudes like some wierd stuff. This is probably a lot better than it sounds. Of course I’m not a dude so that could be why it sounds and looks gross to me.
