Air fryer hot dogs are juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, then added to a delicious crispy air fried hot dog bun. Top with your favorite toppings, for a delicious meal!
This easy meal is a family favorite and makes a perfect week night meal. With just two basic ingredients of beef hot dogs, and hot dog buns, all you need are your favorite classic toppings, and you have a fast meal.
Air frying these hot dogs is not only fast, it's super easy. You can even add creative toppings, like a slice of cheese or cheese sauce, and fried onion, with chili, to make chili cheese dogs. There are so many flavor combinations you can use for an extra bit of flavor.

HOW TO MAKE HOT DOGS
- Take the hot dogs out of packaging, then cut diagonal slits into each hot dog.
- Place hot dogs in air fryer in a single layer. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 5-7 minutes cooking time.
- Once hot dogs are done, use tongs or a fork to remove from the basket. Place hot dogs in bun, then place buns into air fryer basket.Â
- Return hotdogs and buns to air fryer and air fry again at 400 degrees F for 1-2 minutes, until bun is a golden color. Â
- Remove from air fryer basket and serve with favorite delicious toppings, such as ketchup, mustard, or BBQ sauce.Â
I make this recipe in my Cosori Air Fryer 5.8 qt. or 6.8 quart air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, air frying time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes extra time.
FAQ's
I love serving these hot dogs with some of my favorite air fryer recipes for sides, like air fryer tater tots, air fryer French fries, or Air Fryer Potato Wedges.Â
With proper storage, you can keep leftover cooked hot dogs for up to a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.Â
You can air fryer frozen hotdogs for just a few minutes longer, making this a simple weeknight meal. Just top hot dogs with ketchup and mustard, for a very easy meal when on the go.Â
Cutting a couple of slits into the hot dogs helps them have the grill marks, but more importantly allows the hot dog to expand as it cooks, so the heat can get to the center of the hot dog.Â

Love, Love your hotdogs. Have made a lot of your recipes. So easy to follow, and to do them in an airfryer. Thank you and keep up the fantastic work.🎄😋
Thank you Michael! We appreciate hearing that!
I have a COSORI Pro III Air Fryer Dual Blaze, 6.8-Quart I see you have a 5.8 will my 6.8 change the times and temp any and if so about how much do you think i might have to change them? I am new to air frying and I love your recipes they are really easy to follow now I just have to get used to my air fryer. Any tips or helps you can offer me will be appreciated so much. Thank you again for your help and recipes.
Hi there Debra! It could change the times just slightly. If anything, you might have to add a minute or two just because of the larger surface space, but I beleive you might be able to use it with the same times as you have a dual blaze heating bottom and top, versus the 5.8 was only at the top. I bet playing with one or two recipes will give you the answer, but my opinion is MAYBE one or two minutes longer, if it's even needed. 🙂
