Notes

  • Scoring hotdogs: Use a sharp knife to make small, shallow, diagonal slits in each hot dog. Don't cut all the way down, just slightly cut 3-4 diagonal slits into the top of each hot dog.
  • We used Aldi’s Parkview Uncured Angus Beef Hot Dog. They are delicious!
  • We used top slit brioche buns which are absolutely delicious and don’t need to be buttered before toasting.
  • Use an instant read thermometer to check internal temperature. Insert the thermometer into thickest part of hot dog.
  • Cook time may vary depending on your specific air fryer model. As always, use the cook time and temperature as a guide until you are more comfortable with your specific brand of air fryer.
  • If cooking in multiple batches, be sure to check on the remaining batches early, as they may cook more quickly.
