Set your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and preheat for 3-5 minutes for even cooking and perfect texture.
Make small diagonal slits on each hot dog. This prevents them from bursting and helps them cook evenly.
Place hot dogs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even air circulation.
Air fry for 4-6 minutes depending on your desired crispiness. Flip halfway through for uniform browning. –
After the hot dogs are done, place the buns in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes for a warm, toasty finish.
Look for slightly blistered skin and an internal temperature of about 160°F (71°C) for fully cooked hot dogs. –
Dress them up with mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, or sauerkraut for the perfect bite.
For best taste and texture, serve hot dogs straight from the air fryer while they're juicy and crisp!
