- Hot dog buns
- Butter melted
- Ketchup
- Mustard

How to make Air Fryer Hot Dogs:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (we like to use the ninja foodi air fryer for this hot dog recipe but you can use different air fryers too!)
- Prep the hot dogs. For the best results cut slits in the hot dogs and arrange them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Fry the hot dogs. Fry at 400 degrees F for a cook time of 4 minutes, flipping a the halfway point through cooking.
- Fry the hot dogs in the buns. Once the cooking time is done, remove the hot dogs from the air fryer. Place 1 hot dog in each bun. Brush the tops of the buns and hot dogs with the melted butter. Fry the hot dogs in the buns for a couple of extra minutes (I found 3 minutes worked for me)
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, and relish or any other of your favorite toppings.
