Instructions 

Air fry the hot dogs

• Place hot dogs in air fryer basket. Set temperature to 400°F / 200°C and air fry for 8 to 10 mins.

• Remember to shake the basket or flip the hot dogs half way through cooking time to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.

Warming the buns

• When the hot dogs are cooked. Put the hotdogs in the buns and place in the air fryer basket and let the residual heat warm it up. If you prefer the hot dog buns lightly toasted, place it in there with the hot dogs in the last 1 to 2 mins of the hot dogs being cooked.

Notes

1. No need to preheat the air fryer. If you do, cook hot dogs for  less time. Start checking for doneness at 6 mins.
2. If cooking with an air fryer oven like the instant pot vortex oven cook in the middle rack for a couple less minutes because it automatically preheats for 5 mins 
3. Do not over crowd the basket and be sure to flip the hot dogs half way through cooking time.
