Notes
- No need to preheat the air fryer for this recipe.
- Don't forget to cut the slits using a sharp knife. This is an important step because it helps the hot dogs cook evenly and helps prevent bursting.
- Place the hot dogs in a single layer in the basket. You can fit as many as you like, just make sure to leave a little room around each hot dog so that it cooks evenly.
- If you like your hot dog a little more done, add another 1-2 minutes to the cook time.
- Try brushing the buns with melted butter before toasting for extra flavor and a perfectly toasted bun.
