Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 hot dog buns
  • 3 hot dogs
  • 2/3 cup chili
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Cooking oil spray
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Lightly spray or brush the hot dogs with oil. Place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket or tray.
  2. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes. Flip the hot dogs and continue to air fry for another 3-5 minutes, or until your preferred texture is reached. For extra crispiness, air fry at 400°F (205°C) for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for another 2-4 minutes.
  3. While the hot dogs cook, warm the chili in a microwave-safe bowl for about 1 minute, or until heated through. Set aside.
  4. Place the cooked hot dogs into the buns. Top each hot dog generously with chili and shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Place the chili-cheese-topped hot dogs back into the air fryer. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for about 1 minute to warm the bread, melt the cheese, and finish heating the chili.

Notes

- For extra flavor, try using a smoky or spicy chili.
- Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend.
- Add your favorite toppings like diced onions, jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream after air frying.
