Ingredients

4 hot dogs
4 regular bacon strips
4 hot dog buns
softened butter

Instructions

Take hot dogs and bacon out of the package. Tightly wrap each hot dog with a strip of bacon. Place the wrapped hot dogs in the basket of the air fryer.
Set the temperature to 400 degrees and the timer to 8 minutes. Slide the basket into the air fryer and press the start/power button. At the 6-minute mark, check the hot dogs for donenss and turn if needed. At the end of the cooking time, carefully remove the basket.
Place one hot dog into each bun. Brush on softened butter (optional) and place hog dogs in buns back in the air fryer.
Set the temperature to 400 degrees and the timer to 1 to 2 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, carefully remove the hot dogs from the basket and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not use thick-cut bacon as it will take longer to cook and may not crisp up.
Wrap the slice of bacon tightly around the hot dog so that it stays in place during cooking. You can use toothpicks to secure the bacon if needed. Just remember to remove the toothpicks before serving.
Store the bacon-wrapped hot dogs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for leftovers. When ready to serve, warm up the hot dogs in the air fryer and toast the buns.
