My daughter has recently decided that she is going to be a picky eater and living off mac ‘n’ cheese and hot dogs is totally doable. SOMEONE please tell me this phase will end soon in our lives! Needless to say, we have been eating hot dogs lately- lot’s of hot dogs so expect to some hot dog recipes in the future.
Air Fryer Hot Dogs
Air Fryer Hot Dogs are so quick and easy! The hot dogs turn out plump and juicy and even get some nice marking on the outside like they have been grilled. I don’t think I will ever boil a hot dog again- only the air fryer or grill in this house now!
Air Fryer
You will find that each air fryer is a little different. They work off a different wattage and have different temperatures they can reach. All air fryer recipes may need tweaked just a little in temperature and time because of this. Find what works with your air fryer!

This is a really fabulous idea. I wish i woud have thought of it!
omgosh this looks awesome! I never thought about air frying our hot dogs ! Bet they come out super crunchy.
Wow! I hadn’t thought about using my air fryer for making hot dogs, I have been missing out! Thank you so much for showing me how easy it is to make a summer favorite right in the air fryer.
I a not a fan of boiled hotdogs, so this is a great way for me to have a hotdog when I do not want to fire up the grill.
Yes, they taste much more like a grilled hot dog than a boiled one with the crisper outside and juicy inside.
