Ingredients

4 beef hot dogs (such as Ball Park)
4 hot dog buns
Ketchup and Mustard to serve
Recipe #555 Cole Slaw (for topping)
Optional: Recipe #602 Hot Dog Chili Sauce

Instructions

Prep the Dogs: Use a knife to lightly slice the hot dogs across the top (small diagonal slits). This prevents them from bursting and helps them get a nice char.
Air Fry: Place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 400°F.
Initial Cook: Cook for 6 minutes.
Char Finish: Shake the basket to roll the hot dogs, then cook for an additional 3 minutes. This extra time gives them that beautiful charred, grilled finish.
Warm the Buns: If you like your buns toasted, you can place them in the air fryer for the last 1 minute of cooking.
Assemble: Place the hot dogs in the buns and top with ketchup, mustard, and plenty of Master Cookbook Recipe #555 Cole Slaw.

Notes

The Ultimate Dog: For a true Southern experience, top these with Recipe #602: Hot Dog Chili Sauce.
Crunch Factor: Adding the coleslaw directly onto the hot dog provides a wonderful cool crunch that contrasts perfectly with the hot, charred beef.
Quick Clean Up: Because they are contained in the basket, there’s no grease splatter on your stove!
