    FAQs

    Why cook hot dogs in the air fryer?

    I like cooking hot dogs in the air fryer because it’s so easy and because I always get good results. All that hot circulating air crisps the outer surface of the hotdog perfectly, and the inside is always juicy and tender. When you remove the hot dog batch from the air fryer, you’ll see – they are just as good as grilled hot dogs, but easier!

    Can you toast hot dog buns in the air fryer?

    Yup! Toast the buns at 350 degrees F for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. The timing works out perfectly while the hot dogs are cooling after air frying.

    Can I cook frozen hot dogs in the air fryer?

    There’s nothing easier! Add on five extra minutes if you’re cooking frozen hot dogs in the air fryer.

    Can I cook frozen pigs in blankets in an air fryer?

    Yes, you can! But you need to adjust the cook times and temperatures. Just place them in your air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch, and set a cooking time of 8 minutes at 350 F.

    What toppings are best on hot dogs?

    Beyond ketchup, relish, and mustard, my favorite toppings are creative and gourmet. I like a drizzle of this white sauce and diced tomatoes and chopped onions to make Italian-style air fry hot dogs. Or cheddar cheese and a heaping mound of these sautéed onions and peppers.

    What can I serve with air fryer hot dogs?

    For kiddos, serve with simple homemade chips. For a more elaborate meal, serve these air fryer hot dogs on standard hot dog nuns with sous vide corn on the cob and an avocado ranch salad, or on brioche hot dog buns with my creamy zucchini soup.

    Don’t you just love when a recipe turn out perfectly? These hot dogs cooked in the air fryer are always done just-right.

    Love your air fryer, too?

    Hey home chefs, being a toddler mom, and loving fast dinner ideas, I’m finding so many reasons to use my air fryer machine these days. This hot dog recipe is just the beginning. I’ve been whipping up hot dog tortillas often these days, too.

    Lately, if I’m experimenting on what I can just plop in the air fryer and cook – to see which air fryer dishes are better than traditional oven cooking. See more of my air fryer recipes including these delicious air fryer chicken wings.
