Why Cook Hot Dogs Wrapped in Bacon In Air Fryer
I love cooking my hot dogs wrapped in bacon in the Air Fryer or Ninja because it cooks the bacon up to a crunchy crisp texture, and gives the hot dogs that grill texture and taste.
Tip for Making Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs
Whether you cook these in the Fryer or Foodi make sure you don’t over-stuff the basket. These hot dogs need space around them for an even cook. If your overlap or touch hot dogs the bacon in those areas could be less done than other areas.
So if you need to batch cook. Having room for air to circulate all around each hot dog is a must.
Best Way To Store Leftover Wrapped Hot Dogs
Place any leftover bacon wrapped hot dogs in the fridge and store for up to three days. These hot dogs are best when consumed fresh, but you can store in fridge,
How to Reheat Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs
You can warm these hot dogs up in the microwave or even in a skillet. Just heat until they are cooked all the way through.
How Does Bacon Stay On Wrapped Hot Dogs
You will use toothpicks to secure the bacon onto the hot dogs. So as it cooks it will stay wrapped around your hot dogs. If you don’t secure bacon it will come loose and unravel.
Can I Use Turkey Bacon in Replace of Regular Bacon
I have not tried this method, but I think it could work. You would just want to watch the bacon to ensure it doesn’t overcook. I am assuming the turkey bacon would cook faster than regular bacon so just monitor it.
Our family loved these for dinner and I know I will be making these over and over again this summer. The bacon wrapped hot dogs are quick to prep, easy to cook and make a super easy weeknight dinner option for when you don’t have a ton of time!

My mom used to make these but cut a slit in the hot dog and put a slice of cheese in the slit and then wrapped the bacon around it and secured with toothpicks and cooked in the broiler. I guess you could do the same in the Ninja grill on broil?
Yes, that sounds delicious! I would cook it the same way as these bacon dogs.
