A Classic Favorite, Made Better!

  • Crispy Perfection: I used to hate making frozen corn dogs at home. They always ended up soggy. The air fryer makes them perfectly crisp!
  • Less Stress, No Mess: Some days, we moms need an easy dinner we can throw together without any thought. These corn dogs are the answer!
  • SO Easy! This recipe is so easy that you can teach your kids, and they can make it themselves with minimal supervision after school for an easy snack!

Ingredients Needed

  • Corn Dogs: Use your favorite brand of frozen corn dogs and get out however many you want to cook or fit in your air fryer.
  • Oil Spray: DO NOT use nonstick spray! It can ruin your air fryer. Go with pure oil instead!

How to Make Air Fryer Frozen Corn Dogs

Skip the deep fryer and let your air fryer do the work! In minutes, youโ€™ll have golden, crispy corn dogs with that classic fairground crunchโ€”no mess, no hassle!

  1. Place: Arrange the frozen corn dogs in a single layer on the bottom of the air fryer basket.
  2. Spray: Spray the corn dogs with olive oil spray, then cook at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes.

Tips for Fair-Worthy Air Fryer Corn Dogs

Whether it’s snack time or mealtime, air frying is the way to go! Say goodbye to soggy bottoms, these corn dogs turn out perfectly crispy all over!

  • Donโ€™t Overcrowd: Give your corn dogs space so the air circulates evenly for that perfect crisp.
  • Cool Down: Let them cool slightly before serving, especially the sticks!
  • No Thawing Needed: Toss them straight from the freezer into the air fryer for easy prep.
  • Sticks Wonโ€™t Burn: Rest assured, the sticks stay intact during cooking.
  • Know Your Air Fryer: Cooking times vary, so start checking after 8 minutes and adjust as needed.
  • Mini Corn Dogs: If you prefer the taste of mini corn dogs, these work great in the air fryer too; just reduce the cooking time.

  1. When you list this as “bake” at 360 for 8-10 minutes do you literally mean bake in your airfryer? My airfryer has the bake option and I want to make sure I am choosing the right one.
