Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I cook corn dogs in an air fryer?

For perfect air fryer corn dogs, cook them at 375°F(190°C) for 10-12 minutes total cooking time. Most homemade corn dogs will be golden brown and crispy after 10 minutes, but you might need the full 12 minutes depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of the batter. I recommend checking them at the 10-minute mark - they should be golden brown with a crispy cornflake coating and the cheese should be melted inside.

Pro tip: don't overcrowd your air fryer basket! Make sure there's space between each corn dog for even cooking. If you need to cook multiple batches, the first batch might take an extra minute since the air fryer is fully preheated.
