    Recipe Tips

    • Preheat Air fryer
      • Just like you would heat up a grill or a stove before cooking, preheating an air fryer is necessary to get the best out of food and amazing flavor. It also cooks the food faster and is the key to a crispy texture.
    • Score the hot dog
      • Making slits across the top of each hot dog helps release steam as they cook and prevents it from exploding.
    • Single layer.
      • Place hot dogs in a single layer and don't stack up. Leave space around them if possible. Cook in batches if needed.

    How To Serve Air Fryer hot dogs

    For classic hot dog toppings, use mustard, ketchup, pickles or relish.

    If you're feeling a little adventurous you can try topping them with BBQ sauce, chili for chili cheese dogs, shredded cheese, sauerkraut, crispy onions, bacon, etc.

    Serve Air fryer hot dogs with side dishes for a meal. Check out my Air Fryer Potato Wedges, Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries or Air Fryer Carrot Fries.

    Don't forget Air Fryer Tater Tots or Air Fryer Corn On The Cob for an easy Air fryer cookout.

    If you're on a low-carb or keto diet, you can have the air-fried hot dogs without the buns along with your favorite sides.

    How To Store and reheat hot dogs in air fryer

    Once cooled, store leftover hot dogs in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last for 3 to 5 days.

    To reheat hot dogs, place them in the air fryer and reheat them at 400˚F for a few minutes until warm through.

    How to cook frozen hot dogs in air fryer

    I know some of us buy hot dogs in bulk and freeze it. Here's a tip to freeze hot dogs so they don't stick together. Place hot dogs on a parchment-lined baking sheet an inch or two apart and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and keep it in the freezer until ready to use.

    To cook hot dogs from frozen, cook at 375˚F for 5 minutes to defrost and then increase the temperature to 400˚F and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes until your desired doneness.

    Alternatively, you can defrost the frozen hot dog in the microwave for 1 or 2 minutes before air frying.

    To cook frozen mini hot dogs in the Air fryer, cook at 375˚F for 6 to 8 minutes until they're done to your liking.
