Turn on the broiler setting of the oven.

Open the oven door slightly to allow heat to escape while broiling.

Lay out a sheet of tinfoil on a flat surface.

Place the desired number of hot dogs on the tinfoil, ensuring there is space between each hot dog for even cooking.

Carefully place the tinfoil with hot dogs into the oven, avoiding placing them directly on the grates to prevent falling through.

Keep the oven door slightly open while broiling the hot dogs.

After a few minutes, check on the hot dogs and use forks to flip them over.

Continue cooking until the hot dogs are bubbling and look ready.

Carefully remove the tinfoil with hot dogs from the oven, being cautious of the hot dogs and tinfoil.

Plate the hot dogs and turn off the oven to avoid fire hazards.
