Diet Adaptions
Let's face it, frozen mini corn dogs are not compliant with most major healthy eating plans. However, you can include them in an overall healthy lifestyle as long as you generally make good food choices, and try to use those good choices to help you when shopping the frozen foods section. When possible, opt for frozen items that are free from free of nitrates and nitrites, and those that don’t contain added sugar, artificial ingredients, or ingredients you can’t pronounce. Turkey corn dogs are a great alternative that reduces the overall fat content of the corn dog.
Step by Step Instructions
Making your air fryer mini corn dogs is as easy as a preheat, cook, and flip making this one of the easiest air fryer recipes around.
Air Fryer Temperature
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Most air fryer units will have a preheat feature or setting, but if yours does not, you can easily preheat the unit by setting it to 400F and allowing it to run for at least 5-minutes.
Air Fryer Corn Dog Cooking Time
Spread the frozen corn dogs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd them and leave a little space in between each one. How many corn dogs can fit depends on how large your air fryer is, a standard box of Foster Farms corn dogs is 1.83 lb and we were able to cook about ⅔ of a bag in our Cosori 5.8 L air fryer at one time.
Cook the mini corn dogs in the air fryer for a total of 6-7 minutes, flipping them over after 3 minutes. You can cook them a little longer than 6-7 minutes, depending on your desired degree of doneness.
Serve with your choice of dipping sauce and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- We used Foster Farms brand mini frozen corn dogs, but any store bought brand will work.
- For best results, cook the corn dogs in a single layer and leave space between them for best crisping and browning.
- All air fryer models cook a little differently, the first time you go to make a recipe, check the level of doneness a minute or two before a recipe says it'll be done by chance you have a model that cooks hotter/faster.
- You can skip preheating the air fryer if preferred and just add on a little extra cooking time.
