How To Cook Hot Dogs in Air Fryer (Tips)

Perfect for Summer gatherings, these are a easy way to cook hot dogs for a crowd. If you like the charred, smoky flavor like we do, cook them for a few minutes longer. They taste like they came off the grill, but so much easier to cook! Depending on the size of your air fryer, you can cook up to 12 at once. That can easily feed a crowd with flavorful and delicious hot dogs. Best of all, the clean-up is super easy.

  • Hot dogs vary so much in in size and thickness. Start with our base air frying time, then check the hot dogs. If they need more cooking time just add additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Lay the hot dogs in a single layer. This will make sure the beef hot dogs cook evenly. If you stack them and just pile on top of each other, the top ones will burn. The bottom ones might still be cold and un-cooked.
  • Like your hot dogs plump and juicy? Don’t let them air fry for too long. Just check in them halfway though the cooking time and adjust the remainder of your time to your personal taste and texture. 
  • Warm the hot dog buns. What makes them every more amazing is warming the buns in the air fryer. The warm and crispy toasted buns make these hot dogs over the top delicious!!
