Notes

- For the best texture, ensure hot dogs are in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow for even air circulation.
- If your buns are getting too dark, wrap them loosely in foil before air frying or reduce the warming time.
- To prevent the hot dogs from drying out, a light spray of oil is crucial; it helps achieve that desirable crispy skin without overcooking the interior.
- I once overcooked a batch, and they turned rubbery. The key is to check them after the initial 5 minutes and adjust the remaining time based on your air fryer and desired crispness.
