How To Make Hot Dogs in the Air Fryer
Discover an effortless way to make the perfect hot dogs in the air fryer. Take your hot dogs to the next level with this simple and mouthwatering recipe.
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 bun-length hot dogs beef or pork
- 4 hot dog buns
- 1/2 teaspoon steak seasoning
- 1/3 teaspoon celery seed
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Pre-heat the air fryer to 350° F.
- Using a knife, carefully slice four slits into each hot dog at an angle.
- Place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket, spaced apart so they aren’t touching each other.
- Air fry for five minutes at 350° F.
- After the hot dogs have cooked, brush each bun with melted butter and sprinkle the celery seed and steak seasoning onto the buns. The seasoning should adhere to the melted butter.
- Place a cooked hot dog into each bun, and then place the entire hot dog and bun back into the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for another two minutes at 350° F. Air frying with the bun creates nice toasty edges and brings out the butter and seasoning flavor.
Notes
- If you like a softer bun, you don't have to air fry it for the last two minutes.
- I like to use bun-length hot dogs rather than standard ones because it creates a nicer presentation and you aren’t left with a mouthful of bun.
- Make sure to make the slits in the hot dog to prevent them from curling into a wonky shape while cooking. The slits also help the hot dogs cook evenly without losing any of that juiciness!
