Optional:

  • Hot dog buns, hoagie rolls, or pretzel buns

  • Shredded cheese, onions, jalapeños, or sour cream

  • French fries, coleslaw, or mac and cheese on the side



Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–4 minutes.


Step 2: Prepare the Hot Dogs

  • Remove hot dogs from packaging.

  • If frozen, separate gently—no thawing needed.

  • Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray, leaving space between them.


Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

  • Cook at 375°F for 7–8 minutes, flipping or rolling halfway through.

  • For frozen, cook 9–10 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes.

  • Franks are done when lightly blistered and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).


Step 4: Rest Before Serving

Let rest for 1–2 minutes—the chili cheese filling will be hot.



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.
