Ingredients
4hot dogs
4hot dog buns
Instructions
Take each hot dog and make several shallow slashes down each. I like to 3 diagonal slashes, rotate the hot dog, slash 3 times again, then rotate again. I will usually rotate 3 to 4 times, making each hot dog have 9-12 diagonal slashes.
Place the hot dogs in your air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 400ºF and set the timer for 6 minutes.*
Once the hot dogs are done cooking, remove the hot dogs and place them in the buns. Place the hot dogs in the buns back into the air fryer and cook for 2 more minutes at 400ºF.
Remove and top with your favorite hot dog toppings.

Notes
*If I remember, I like to shake the air fryer basket about halfway through the cook time to ensure even cooking.Nutrition information provided as an estimate only. Various brands and products can change the counts. Any nutritional information should be used as a general guide.
