Tips for Making Air Fryer Corn Dogs
Fry corn dogs from frozen. Not only is it faster and easier than thawing them first, using corn dogs right from the freezer helps to keep the battered crust intact while keeping the hot dogs juicy and tender.
Don’t overcrowd the basket. Foods air fry best when they are not touching, so only cook as many corn dogs as will comfortably fit in a single layer.
Don’t use too much cooking spray. A gentle spray of nonstick olive oil or other high-heat spray oil is all you need. If the basket gets overly saturated with oil the corn dogs can get overcooked on the outside.
