Air Fryer Hot Dogs are truly the best hot dogs you can make in just minutes at home! They're slightly charred on the outside while juicy on the inside with a perfectly toasted bun.

Equipment
- air fryer
- long tongs to remove hot dogs and toasted buns
- sharp knife to cut slits in hot dogs
Ingredients
- 6-8 Hot Dogs
- 6-8 Hot Dog Buns
- Condiments
- Toppings
Instructions
- Cut a few slits on top of each hot dog. This gives a little extra crisp, and gives it that "grilled" look without grilling. It also helps hold the toppings. Completely optional.
- Place hot dogs into air fryer basket leaving some room in between each hot dog. I can fit about 8 hot dogs comfortably in my air fryer.
- Cook hot dogs for 6-8 minutes depending how crispy you want the skin. 6 minutes gives you a nice crisp skin and 8 minutes a crispier skin.
- Place hot dogs into buns and put back into the air fryer basket. Cook for 1-2 minutes at 400 degrees F. to toast the buns. If you wanted melted cheese, add cheese to the hot dog before toasting buns.
- Serve. Remove toasted hot dogs from air fryer with long tongs and serve with your favorite condiments and toppings.

Notes
Create a Grilled Look. Cut little slits into the top of each hot dog before cooking in air fryer. I love the "grilled" look it gives the hot dog, plus it gives a little extra crisped skin and holds your toppings.
Buttered Buns. For a buttery toasted bun, brush melted butter over top of the buns before toasting in air fryer. Add a little garlic salt to the melted butter for garlic toasted buns. It's FANTASTIC.
Lots of Condiments and Toppings. Have a variety of condiments and toppings out for your guests to make the perfect hot dogs. I like to have a little of everything.
Keep Warm. Keep hot dogs and buns covered in the oven on warm until ready to serve.
