Air Fryer Hot Dog Strips (Bacon Chips)
It helps to have the hot dogs cold or slightly frozen to be firm enough to peel thin. Air fry timing to get the strips crispy will vary so much. Hot dogs vary so much in how they are made. All meat or all beef hot dogs will cook crispier than budget friendly hot dogs which often have fillers in them.
Also, how thick you peel them will affect timing as well.
