Instructions
1. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 2-3 minutes.
2. Lightly score the hot dogs with diagonal slashes to prevent bursting and help crisp the skin.
3. Place hot dogs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring space around each for even cooking.
4. Air fry at 390°F for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking or rotating halfway through for even browning.
5. Remove hot dogs and optionally place buns in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes to toast.
6. Assemble each hot dog in a bun and top with your favorite condiments and garnishes.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
Preheating the air fryer is key for crisp texture and even results.
Score the hot dogs lightly so they don’t split open too much during cooking.
Use quality buns and toast them for an upgraded, more satisfying bite.
