Chicken hot dogs won't work, beef works best but "meat" one are ok. Cut hot dogs into 1" pieces and put in crock pot. Cover with beer, I use the cheap stuff. Cover and cook for several hours, until the dogs plump up. Drain off beer and cover with Bbq sauce. Cook a couple of more hours. This is much better than it sounds. Kids will generally hate it, but adults will inhale it. I know...it's *hot dogs*, but this is different.
