Instructions
Start by preheating your air fryer to 360°F (180°C). Place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are heated through and have a slight crisp.
Slice the hot dog buns lengthwise, but not all the way through, so they can hold the chili and cheese. Optionally, you can lightly toast the inside of the buns in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes if you prefer a crunchier texture.
Spoon your favorite chili onto each hot dog, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese.
Return the loaded hot dogs to the air fryer basket. Cook at 360°F (180°C) for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the chili cheese dogs from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your delicious and easy air fryer chili cheese dogs!
