Air Fryer Mini Corn Dogs

Air Fryer Mini Corn Dogs are an easy way to eat those golden brown goodies in no time at all. The best part is that you need just one simple ingredient to cook up this quick snack! It’s such an easy recipe that you can also make a simple family dinner!

Air fryer corn dogs remind me of the state fair, which my whole family loves. There’s nothing like filling your belly with this perfect snack, but beware..this just might lead your fair food cravings in a whole new direction! There’s a reason why air fryer frozen chicken nuggets and air fryer pizza rolls are popular, too! (don’t forget that air fryer waffle fries and air fryer cinnamon rolls are a thing as well!)

Cooking these air fryer mini corndogs in the air fryer is a game changer – and they’re addictive. I think they’re better than regular corn dogs because no deep frying is required at all! And if you love corn dogs, try these air fryer corn dogs!

How to make frozen Mini Corn Dogs in Air Fryer

1. Place the mini corn dogs into the air fryer basket without stacking or overlapping. If you have a smaller basket, air fry 10 at a time. 
2. Air fry at 380 degrees F for 9-11 minutes, until corn dogs reach your desired crispness and the hot dog in the middle is cooked. 
3. Serve with your favorite toppings.

I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer or 6.8 quart air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.

Variations

Tasty air fryer recipes like this one are so simple to make you might be thinking that there aren’t a ton of variations to do! You’re right, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Use the air fryer oven to make air frying fun – and you’ll have the perfect corn dog in no time at all. Adding a light drizzle of honey on the corn dogs before cooking them can be a great way to add something different.

You can also cook regular sized corn dogs and then cut them into bites for simplicity, too!

How to serve 

Air fryer frozen corn dogs are simple to serve! You can serve them as a great snack or a quick lunch. Be sure to serve these crispy corn dogs with your favorite dipping sauce. I love honey mustard, BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard, and even spicy hot sauce.

How to store

These delicious corn dogs are simple to store! Just let these corn dog bites cool down and then store them in an airtight container. The great thing about making these air fry mini corn dogs is that you can reheat those crispy exteriors back in the air fryer for another easy meal.

Just heat them back up in a single layer for 3-5 minutes for the best results. Leftover corn dogs are the best!

FAQs

Can I cook a second batch quickly?

You bet! This is the best way to make more of this easy snack. You may need to add some extra cooking spray to the bottom of the air fryer basket, but that’s about all that you’ll have to worry about.

Does this give the corn dogs the same crispness as cooking them in the deep fryer?

I think so! They have a little bit of crunch, paired with a soft middle, just like they would if they were deep fried. They really do have a nice crunchy texture without the worry of all that extra oil.

Do I have to turn them when they’re cooking?

Even when the timer hits the halfway point, you don’t have to do anything! This is why it’s the perfect easy dinner. You add, set the air fryer cook times, and let the air fryer cook them. That’s it.
