Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Score hot dogs with 3-4 diagonal slashes on each side — this prevents splitting and adds char marks.
- 2
Air fry at 400°F for 5-6 minutes until plump and slightly charred.
- 3
Add buns to the air fryer for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
- 4
Load up with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
Tip: Scoring the hot dogs prevents them from bursting randomly and gives you better char lines. For cheese dogs, stuff a slit with cheese in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
