These air fried cheese hot dogs are so good! You can cook the hot dogs to whatever doneness you like. Just check them halfway through the cooking time and adjust the remainder of your time to your personal taste and texture. If you like your hot dogs extra crispy (similar to grilled hot dogs), Air Fry at 400°F/205°C for about total of about 5-8 minutes. Flip the hot dogs after the first 4 minutes. However, the cheese may ooze out of the hot dogs more with the hotter heat.
Place the cheese hot dogs in air fryer basket/tray in a single layer.
Lightly spray cheese hot dogs with oil spray.
Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for 4 minutes. Shake or flip the cheese hot dogs.
Continue to Air Fry for another 1-3 minutes, depending on your preferred texture and size of cheese hot dogs.
Place cheese hot dogs in the buns and put back in the air fryer. Air Fry for about 1 minute for the buns to warm and crisp. Or warm the buns separately if you like the inside of the bun crispy. Serve with your favorite toppings!
Notes
One note about the hot dogs: they are sold in different sizes and lengths! So after you cook your first batch, you'll know exactly how long to cook your future batches in the air fryer.
