For the BBQ sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook at a low bubble for 15 to 20 minutes.

For the slaw, in a small bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and red onion. Add the vinegar, oil, and celery salt; season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat the veggies with dressing.

To assemble, place a hot dog in the bun and spoon over a good dose of BBQ sauce. Top with some slaw and crushed chips.
