Air Fryer Corn Dogs

Air Fryer Corn Dogs is a tasty frozen food that you can prepare in your air fryer. In less than 8 minutes, you can have a crispy Air Fried Corn Dog that tastes like it is straight out of the local fair.

Let’s face it, sometimes you just want a quick and easy food for your family or even your self. When it comes to convenience, corn dogs in the air fryer rank pretty high. (At least in my book!)

There is just something that comes along with this type of food. This type of comfort food can bring back childhood memories. Memories of heading to the state fair or the local carnival when it was in town, so you could have fun and eat some goodies!

Maybe you are a snack-o-holic? If you are a snacker that loves your air fryer, you should try our  air fryer jalapeno poppers, air fryer Shishito Peppers or our air fryer pizza rolls.

TIPS FOR CORN DOGS IN AIR FRYER

• Do I need to preheat my air fryer? Each air fryer runs a bit differently and each model comes with its own instructions. It’s kinda of 50/50 on whether you should or not. I personally do not preheat my air fryers. I would refer to your air fryer manual.
• Do not stack the dogs in the air fryer basket. They need some room to cook! They need their space.
• What about mini dogs? If you make some mini dogs, you can use the same temp but you need to lessen the cook time.
• Should I thaw them? Nope, there is no need to thaw the the dogs before cooking. You can cook them frozen!
• How about the oil? Do you need to add any spray oil to the basket? The answer is no. No need to add any extra oil!
• Hot! Hot! These dogs heat up quickly and they hold the heat. So be extremely careful when you take them out of the air fryer basket AND when you take that first bite!
• Timing is everything, if you shorten the cook time, the dog may not be heated all the way through.
• Do the sticks burn in the air fryer? You might see some of the batter burn where it meets the stick, but we haven’t had any problems. If you don’t feel comfortable, you can break off the sticks.

HOW TO COOK AIR FRYER CORN DOGS

1. The hardest part is deciding how many you want to cook!? So remove from the package, how many dogs you’d like to cook.
2. Place the frozen corn dogs into the air fryer basket (remember NO added oil). Air fry the dogs at 400F/204C for 6-8 minutes.
3. Remove from the air fryer basket.
4. Plate up your dogs and serve with your favorite dipping sauce, remember they are very HOT!

Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the “Air Fry” function.
