Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs
Best Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs Recipe
Cooking too much bacon at once can release oil splattering on the heating element. This causes the air fryer to release smoke. Read our detailed write up here on What Causes Air Fryer to Smoke. Size of hot dogs and thickness of the bacon will vary so adjust times accordingly. Try not to cook too much bacon at once. Oh boy, these are so good and a game changer! Air fried bacon and hot dogs are such a great combination together. Making bacon wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer is seriously a game changer. It’s not only a quick and easy way to make air fried bacon hot dogs. The crispy textures are what makes these hot dogs exceptional. The hot circulator air cooks the bacon and hot dogs evenly and to a perfect crisp. Sure, grilling them on grill is our favorite, but the air fried version is a very close second because it’s so easy on the clean up!

How To Make Air Fried Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs in Air Fryer
If you don’t like to have crispy hot dog edges, then make sure to wrap the bacon all the way to the tips. One way to keep the bacon from shrinking away from the hot dog ends is to use toothpicks to secure the bacon. Make sure to remove the toothpick before eating! And if you want warm crispy buns, air fry those too for about a minute. Wow, it’s so good when the hot dog buns are warm!
Cooking bacon separately is so easy. Here’s how.

Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs
Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 hot dog buns
- For serving: ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, pickles, jalapeños, onions, etc.
Equipment
Instructions
- Wrap the bacon slices around hot dogs snugly. If you want, you can use a toothpick to secure the bacon to the hot dog. REMOVE the tooth pics before serving! Make sure bacon covers the tips of the hot dogs. Place in air fryer basket.
- Air Fry at 380°F for 8-10 minutes depending on your preferred texture, size of hot dogs, and how cooked you like your bacon. If you like your hot dogs & bacon extra crispy, Air Fry at 400°F for about 6-8 minutes. Flip the hot dogs half way through cooking.
- For crispy warm hot dog buns: Place bacon wrapped hot dogs in the buns and air fry for another minute or until the bread is warm. Serve with your favorite toppings.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).

My mouth started watering just from the pictures alone. I had to try this out in my newly bought air fryer and it came it SOOO good!
It’s always hard for me to get my bacon crispy but with this recipe I was finally able to get my bacon perfectly crispy. Easy clean up too.
So glad you enjoyed the the crispy bacon hot dogs!
Both the hot dog and bacon cooked perfectly. Thanks a lot!
Great idea to cook bacon-wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer. I cooked it a little longer to get the bacon crispier and the hot dog was charred and perfect. That’s how I like it. I’ll be making this again!
