Pro Tips for the Best Results

Avoid Overcooking

Overheating can cause the chili cheese filling to leak out—remove promptly once golden.

Flip or Roll Midway

Ensures even browning and reduces the risk of bursting.

Cook Whole

Do not cut or pierce the franks before cooking to keep the filling sealed.

No Oil Needed

These hot dogs crisp naturally in the air fryer with no added spray required.
