Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 12 frozen mini corn dogs
  • Oil spray (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Spritz the air fryer basket lightly with oil spray to prevent sticking and help achieve a crispy texture on the corn dogs.
  2. Arrange Corn Dogs: Place the frozen mini corn dogs in an even layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Spritz the corn dogs themselves lightly with oil spray to enhance crispiness.
  3. Air Fry: Set the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and cook the corn dogs for 8 to 10 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, gently shake the basket to turn the corn dogs for even browning on all sides.
  4. Serve: Once cooked to a golden brown and crispy on the outside, remove the mini corn dogs from the air fryer. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, or cheese dip.

Notes

  • Do not thaw the mini corn dogs before air frying; cook from frozen for best results.
  • Shaking the basket halfway through cooking ensures even crispiness and prevents sticking.
  • Use oil spray sparingly to keep the snack less greasy while still achieving a crunchy exterior.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly if your air fryer runs hotter or cooler.
  • Perfect for parties, quick snacks, or kids’ lunches.
