Equipment Needed:
Ingredients (Full recipe located in recipe card below):
- Hot Dogs - I like to use bun-length hot dogs.

- BBQ Sauce - Choose your favorite BBQ sauce.
Air Fryer Instructions:
1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. While the air fryer heats up, use a knife to cut 4 to 6 slits into each hot dog.
3. Add the hot dogs to the air fryer in a single layer and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 minutes.
4. Open the air fryer and brush each hot dog with BBQ sauce, brushing the BBQ sauce down into the hot dog slits for extra flavor. Cook the hot dogs for an additional minute at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until the BBQ sauce is hot and bubbly. You can cook them longer if you prefer more char.
5. Remove hot dogs from the air fryer. Let cool, then enjoy!

Pro Tips:
- Cook longer for crispier hot dogs
