When I make corn dogs with my own batter, the little sticks are helpful for dipping the hot dogs in the batter before frying. That said, I bet I could batter them with the stick, and figure out a way to release them into the fryer with some tongs or tweezers so that I can keep the even batter thickness and radial symmetry.
You could just use like chopsticks or a second stick, use one for dipping and the other one to slide the dog off the other stick into the oil. Might lose a little batter at the end of the dog though.
I think if I’m working over hot fryer oil I’d want a secure grip on each part, so I’d probably still be using something pinchy to smoothly pull through. One loose stick seems like it wouldn’t be enough control to move quickly and safely.
Boneless corn dogs, yes. This is a good idea.

Ok I’m trying that this summer.

Use a fork. Put the stick between the middle tines of the fork, and slide it toward the dog and off the stick (into the oil).
Dunno if that adequately explained how I’m picturing it in my head
