How to Make Chili Cheese Air Fryer Hot Dogs

Have you joined the air fryer obsession yet? I admit, while I was slow to get on board, now that we have one, we use our ours daily, sometimes more. This handy kitchen device helps us make so many things and it’s perfect for families since it can help make kid-friendly foods in a matter of minutes. With a teen and tween who are ALWAYS hungry, our fryer gets a workout and it’s great for family meals and snacks.

Appetizers and snacks for entertaining are also easy to make in air fryers and if you’re making plans for game day this year, we’ve got lots of tasty recipe suggestions to add to your menu. Our mozzarella cheese sticks, Cheetos cheese sticks, pizza rolls and mini pizzas are some of our most popular and our latest addition to our recipe collection are these easy cheesy dogs that are sure to be a hit. Here’s what you’ll need to make them!

To make this easy recipe as a meal or snack, you will need hot dogs, hot dog buns, chili and shredded cheddar cheese. You can make as many or as few hot dogs that your family wants. For this example we made four due to the size of the fryer, but you can definitely make more hot dogs, less, or even make multiple batches. If you only need one, you can definitely do that too. This recipe is flexible!

To start your air fryer hot dogs, you’ll want to pre-heat your air fryer to 350 degrees. If your cheddar cheese is not shredded yet, go ahead and shred it using a cheese grater. Once the fryer is pre-heated, you’ll wan to place the hot dogs in the fryer basket and fry for 5 minutes.

After the five minutes is up, remove from air fryer. Place hot dogs in the hot dog buns.

Coat the hot dogs with chili and sprinkle generously with cheese.

Wrap up making your chili cheese air fryer hot dogs. Place hot dogs back into the air fryer for 2 minutes our until cheese has melted and buns have toasted. Serve while warm.
