  • Use fresh hot dog buns: Stale buns will not hold up well in the air fryer.
  • Preheat your air fryer: This will help ensure that the hot dogs cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer: Leave some space between the hot dogs so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the hot dogs until they are heated through: The internal temperature of the hot dogs should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve the hot dogs immediately: Hot dogs are best enjoyed when served immediately after they are cooked.

With just a few minutes of cooking time, you can have perfectly cooked hot dogs that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
