Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 slices of bacon
- 8 buns
- OPTIONAL TOPPINGS: ketchup mustard, diced onions, relish,
Instructions
- Prepare your air fryer basket by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with cooking spray.
- Wrap one slice of bacon around each hot dog. If needed, secure the ends with toothpicks.
- Place wrapped hot dogs in your air fryer basket so they are not touching.
- Air fry at 380ºF for 8-10 minutes or until bacon is cooked and crispy. Be sure to flip your hot dogs halfway through.
- Place cooked hot dogs on buns and top with your desired toppings.
Notes
- Preheat the air fryer before adding the hot dogs for even cooking and crisping of bacon.
- Secure any loose ends using toothpicks to prevent unraveling during cooking.
- Watch closely as different types of bacon may require more or less time to cook through completely and get crispy.
- Make sure that the wrapped hot dogs are not touching in order to ensure they cook properly in the air fryer basket without sticking together.
- Experiment by adding different spices or seasonings under or on bacon to add flavor like a sprinkling of brown sugar or drizzle of maple syrup on the bacon itself before wrapping.
- Use kitchen shears to cut bacon slices into smaller strips making it easier to wrap them around each hot dog evenly without having too much overlap.
- If you don’t have access to an air fryer, these Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs can be cooked under your broiler, baked inside your oven at 400ºF for 15-20 minutes, or grilled on a barbecue as well.
