  • For serving: mustard
  • For serving: BBQ sauce
  • For serving: pickles

Method
 

  1. Wrap each hot dog snugly with a slice of bacon. Use toothpicks to secure if needed, ensuring bacon covers the ends. Place in the air fryer basket.
  2. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway. For extra crispiness, air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway. REMOVE toothpicks before serving.

  4. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, pickles, jalapeños, and onions.
