Why We Love This Air Fryer Recipe
So, hot dogs… It feels a little weird sharing a hot dog recipe. After all, you can drop them in boiling water, put them in the microwave, grill them, bake them, sizzle them in a skillet, the list goes on. I mean, seriously, there are so many easy ways to cook hot dogs, and on top of that, they’re technically already cooked! However, if you are an air fryer super fan (I’ve got my hand up) air frying hotdogs is the best method for you! This Air Fryer Hot Dogs recipe is quick and easy to make dogs that have a fabulous tender texture on the inside and are slightly crisp on the outside. They’re ready in less than 10 minutes and require very little prep and cleanup. Bonus: You can even toast the buns in the air fryer, too. We give this method two thumbs up!

How to Make Air Fryer Hot Dogs
Note: You can set the shake button, to shake the hotdogs in the middle of the cooking time, but it’s not really necessary.
