Air Fryer Hot Dogs
Crispy and browned exterior with a juicy interior, Air Fryer Hot Dogs taste like grilled, but made in minutes with next to no clean up!
Servings: 4
Equipment
- Air Fryer (I own a 5.8 QT Cosori Air Fryer)
- Disposable Paper Liners (optional)
Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs
- 4 hot dog buns
- condiments , to serve
Instructions
- Preheat your Air Fryer to 400F.
- Cut 3 to 4 small slits in each hot dog, then place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 6 minutes, or until they have achieved the level of doneness you prefer (all air fryers can cook a bit differently.)
- Carefully remove the hot dogs from the air fryer and place one into each bun.
- Place the buns with the hot dogs back into the air fryer and air fry for 1 more minute.(Sometimes I put the buns on a disposable paper liner, but that's optional. You may also need to do this in stages depending on the size of your basket.)
- Once ready, add your favorite condiments and enjoy immediately!
Notes
Type of hot dogs. A good quality all-beef hot dog is a great choice here but if you need to feed a crowd on a budget go for a basic hot dog which also tastes really good when cooked in the air fryer. This recipe works great for vegetarian and vegan hot dogs, too!
Why cut the slits? Cutting a few small slits in the hot dogs before air frying allows air to escape and makes sure they don’t burst open.
