Ingredients

• 4 hot dog buns
• 4 hot dogs
• oil spray , for coating hot dogs

For Serving

• ketchup , mustard, BBQ sauce, pickles, jalapeños, sauteed onion, etc.

Equipment

• Air Fryer

Instructions 

• Lightly spray hot dogs with oil spray. Place in air fryer basket or air fryer rack.
• Air Fry at 380°F for 8-10 minutes depending on your preferred texture and size of hot dogs. If you like your hot dogs extra crispy (similar to grilled hot dogs), Air Fry at 400°F for about 6-8 minutes. Flip the hot dogs half way through cooking.
• Place hot dogs in the buns and cook in the air fryer for about one more minute for the buns to warm and crisp. Or warm the buns separately. Serve with your favorite toppings!
• One note about the hot dogs: they are sold in differnet sizes and lenghts! So after you cook your first batch, you'll know exactly how long to cook your future batches in the air fryer.

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).
