The Corn dog is a hot dog coated in cornbread batter and deep fried in hot oil, although some are baked. Almost all corn dogs are served on wooden sticks, although the original corn dog was not.[1]
CORN DOG PREPARATION
Corn dogs are served as street food, as well as at malls, local delis, and gas stations. It is also sold at events such as state and county fairs, art festivals and Renaissance Fairs.
While some places dip and fry their dogs just before serving, other places use premade frozen corn dogs that are thawed and then fried again or browned in an oven. Premade frozen corn dogs can also be microwaved, but the corn bread coating will lack texture.
They are eaten plain or served with ketchup, mustard, relish, or mayonnaise.
They can also be found at almost any supermarket in North America as frozen food that can be heated, and served.
A breakfast version of the corn dog consists of a breakfast sausage deep-fried in a pancake batter.
Another version
comes with either melted cheese in-between the hot dog and the breading or the hot dog is replaced with a cheese-filled hotdog.
Vegetarian Corndogs
Both vegetarian corn dogs and corn dog nuggets are made as meatless alternatives by many of the same companies that produce veggie dogs.

Corn dogs are hotdogs encased in a cornbread batter. They are deep fried at fairs, but you can buy them frozen at the local grocery store and then you end up baking them in the oven. We also have a pancake encased hotdogs as well. They are called Pronto Pups. You can get them fried at fairs or you can buy them frozen and bake them at home.

Very similar to the fried battered sausage that you can get at your local fish & chips, only that instead of a flour batter, they use cornmeal and they put the sausage on a stick like a lolly.

It's a hot dog on a stick that's dipped in cornmeal batter, and deep-fried. It's great food at county or state fairs.

It's a kind of hotdog sausage, but instead of be served on a bun it's coated in cornbread batter and deep fried in hot oil, although some are baked.
I like them and I'm planning to use them on my child next birthday as snack for children.

They're Heaven is what they are! They're hotdogs (frankfurters, weiners, whatever you call them) on a wooden skewer, then they're dipped in a batter made of cornmeal, flour, eggs, buttermilk and a few seasonings and then deep fried.
