Air Fryer Hack: Frozen Hot Dogs, Quick And Easy!

Cooking frozen hot dogs in an air fryer is an easy and delicious way to prepare this food. You can cook a few or a full pack at once, and you can use beef, pork, chicken, turkey or vegetarian hot dogs or any other type of sausage. This method requires minimal effort and a little more time than cooking in a microwave.

Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and pour a bit of water in the bottom of the basket to avoid excessive smoke

If you are using a preheated air fryer, the cooking time will be 7-8 minutes. Rotate your hot dogs halfway through so that both the top and bottom cook evenly. If you are using a large hot dog, you may need to adjust the cooking time by a minute or two.

Place the frozen hot dogs in the air fryer basket and air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, turning them once halfway

Place the frozen hot dogs in the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 390°F (200°C). It's important to ensure that the hot dogs are not stacked or overlapping, so that they cook evenly. Pour a bit of water into the bottom of the air fryer basket to avoid excessive smoke. Set the timer for 8-10 minutes and turn the hot dogs once halfway through. Check that the hot dogs are cooked through before serving – they should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the hot dogs and the model of your air fryer. If you are using a large hot dog, you may need to adjust the cooking time by a minute or two. You can also cook just a few hot dogs or a full frozen pack at once, and you can use beef, pork, chicken, turkey or vegetarian hot dogs, or any other type of sausage.

Separate the hot dogs if they are frozen together. You don't want them to be stacked or overlapping

When cooking frozen hot dogs in an air fryer, it's important to separate them if they're frozen together. This is to ensure they cook evenly, without any stacking or overlapping. If they're not separated, the hot dogs may not cook through properly, resulting in an unevenly cooked meal.

To separate the hot dogs, simply use your hands or a utensil to gently pry them apart. It's best to do this before placing them in the air fryer, as it can be difficult to separate them once they're in the basket.

Once they're separated, you can place them in the air fryer basket, ensuring they're not stacked or overlapping. This will allow the hot air to circulate evenly around each hot dog, resulting in a consistent cook.

By following this step, you'll ensure that your frozen hot dogs come out perfectly cooked and ready to be enjoyed.

Crank the temperature up to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 6-8 minutes or until your desired level of doneness

Cooking frozen hot dogs in an air fryer is simple and easy. Once you've preheated your air fryer to 390°F (200°C), pour a bit of water into the bottom of the air fryer basket to avoid excessive smoke. Place the frozen hot dogs in the preheated basket and air fry for four minutes to defrost.

Now, crank the temperature up to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 6-8 minutes or until your desired level of doneness. If you're using a preheated air fryer, change the air frying time to 7-8 minutes. Rotate your hot dogs halfway through air frying so that both the top and bottom are cooked. If you're using a large hot dog, you may need to adjust the air frying time by a minute or two.

Once cooked, remove the hot dogs from the air fryer and serve while warm. Be sure to separate the hot dogs if they are frozen together. You don't want them to be stacked or overlapping. This will ensure the hot dogs cook evenly.
