Get the complete ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below.

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400F / 200C.
2. Take frozen corn dogs out of the packet and add them into the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer.
3. Cook for 6-8 minutes until done, turning over two-thirds of the way through the cooking time.
4. Remove from air fryer and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

How To Make These In The Instant Pot

• Spray the Instant Pot insert with a non-stick cooking spray. 
• Add the corn dogs in a single layer.
• Be sure to leave space so the air can get in between them to cook evenly. 
• Place the air fryer lid on the Instant Pot, set to 400F /200C and cook for 16-19 minutes, turning over halfway through the cooking time.

Top Tips

• For the best results do not overcrowd the air fryer basket so that the hot air circulates well and the corn dogs crisp up. Do not stack them at all.
• The amount of corn dogs you can fit in depends on the size of your air fryer basket or tray. I can get 5-6 in easily.
• No extra oil is needed for this recipe.
• For the best results, flip the corn dogs about two-thirds of the way through cooking.
• The hot dogs inside do heat up, so please let them cool down a little bit before you dig in.
• Depending on the size of the basket, you might have to break the ends of the corn dog stick for them to fit.

Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, checking for doneness, then adding more time as needed.

Storage

• Store – Store any cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in a refrigerator.
• Reheat – reheat in a preheated air fryer for about 2 minutes at 400F / 200C.

Air Fryer Frozen Corn Dog Time

Cooking times depends entirely on the size of the corn dogs and the temperature. Based on a 400F / 200C temperature you should cook.

• These for 6-8 minutes.
• If the don’t cook enough for your liking, then cook for a further 2 minutes.
