Ingredients
  

  • 4 hot dogs
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • For serving: ketchup
  • For serving: mustard
  • For serving: BBQ sauce
  • For serving: pickles
  • For serving: jalapeños
  • For serving: onions

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.
  3. To warm the hot dog buns, place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs into the buns. Air fry for an additional minute until the bread is warm and toasted.
  4. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, pickles, jalapeños, and onions.

Notes

- For extra crispy bacon, consider using thinner cut bacon.
- Always remove toothpicks before serving to avoid choking hazards.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Experiment with different types of hot dogs (all-beef, smoked, etc.) for varied flavors.
