This ensures the hot dogs cook evenly and quickly.

Prepare Your Hot Dogs Simply take your favorite hot dogs and place them in the air fryer basket.

Place Hot Dogs in the Air Fryer Arrange the hot dogs in the air fryer basket. If you're cooking multiple, ensure they're not overcrowded to allow proper airflow for crisping.

Cook for 5 Minutes Set the timer for 5 minutes. There's no need to flip the hot dogs mid-way, but if you like extra crispiness, feel free to check and turn them halfway through.
