Score hot dogs with 3-4 diagonal slashes on each side — this prevents splitting and adds char marks.
Air fry at 400°F for 5-6 minutes until plump and slightly charred.
Add buns to the air fryer for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
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.
