corn dog

Fried stick snack

A corn dog is a hot dog on a stick, coated in cornmeal batter and deep-fried.

The crispy golden shell encases the frankfurter, creating portable fair food.

Corn dogs are staples at carnivals, state fairs, and sports stadiums, typically served with mustard or ketchup: We grabbed corn dogs at the county fair.
