Ingredients

4 hot dogs
4 slices bacon
4 hot dog buns
Ketchup, mustard, relish, etc.

Instructions

Wrap the bacon around each hot dog. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon.
Set air fryer to 390 degrees F and place hot dogs in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through to make sure the bacon cooks crisp and even on both sides.
If you want to make your buns crispy, add the cooked bacon wrapped hot dogs to the bun and place them back in the air fryer. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve with your favorite toppings and condiments.

Notes

Storage: Store your leftover hot dogs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer to get those crispy hot dog edges again.
Stovetop: You can also cook these in a large cast iron skillet on the stove top over medium-high heat. Just wrap the hot dogs and secure with toothpicks like above, then place them in the pan, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crisp on all sides and the hot dogs are heated all the way through.
Grill: Repeat the same process of wrapping the hot dogs in bacon, then grill over indirect heat, turning with tongs, until the bacon is crispy. I avoid cooking these directly over the flame because the bacon grease can easily cause flare-ups.
Oven: If you want to cook your bacon-wrapped hot dogs in the oven, I recommend placing a wire cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and placing the wrapped hot dogs on there. Cook in a preheated 425 degree F oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the hot dogs are heated through.
