Introduction
Hot dogs are a favorite on game day and holiday weekends. We all know that they’re unhealthy, but we love them anyway. For those who are trying to cut back on fat, calories or carbs—or just want a healthier option as an alternative to frying—air-frying is the way to go! You can enjoy your hot dogs without worrying about all of those extra calories by using an air fryer instead. In this article, I’ll show you how long it takes for hot dogs to cook in an air fryer so that you know exactly how much time is required before serving up these treats at your next get together!
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Place the hot dogs in the basket and cook for 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Place the hot dogs onto the cooking tray and cook until they reach a desired level of crispiness, approximately 8 minutes.

- Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your hot dog.
- You can test for doneness by cutting into one of the hot dogs to see if it’s heated through or undercooked in places. If there are still uncooked areas inside when you cut into it, continue cooking until all sides are fully cooked through before serving
Repeat as necessary until all hot dogs are cooked through.
Now that your air fryer is preheated and your hot dogs are ready, it’s time to cook them! If you’re cooking a lot of hot dogs at once, place them in a single layer on the rack and set them to cook for 8 minutes. If you only want to cook a few at once (or if they won’t all fit), then use more racks and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Once the timer goes off after 8 minutes of frying, remove one hot dog from its basket with tongs or an oven mitt and check its temperature: if it isn’t warm enough yet (around 150 degrees F), let it go back into the air fryer for another 3-5 minutes until it reaches 160 degrees F internally before serving
Each air fryer has different heat settings so you may need to adjust the time depending on yours.
If you don’t have an air fryer, don’t worry! There are plenty of other ways to cook hot dogs. If you’re in the market for one, but not ready to make the purchase yet, here are some tips on how long it will take your hot dog:
- Each air fryer has different heat settings so you may need to adjust the time depending on yours.
- If using an oven instead of an air fryer: Preheat oven at 400 degrees F and bake for 10 minutes (or until golden brown). You could also try baking at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or so if needed.
Conclusion
The air fryer is a great way to cook hot dogs, especially if you love crispy hot dogs. The air fryer cooks them quickly and easily without having to use any oil or butter. You can even cook multiple hot dogs at once in an air fryer!
