Notes
Partially cooking the bacon first helps ensure the bacon gets really crispy without the hot dog overcooking. We have shown you two different methods to try. Use whichever one works best for you.
* Remember, all ovens, air fryers, and microwaves vary and cooking times may vary.
For easy clean up, and depending on the type of air fryer you have, line the drip tray with aluminum foil.
