This bacon wrapped hot dogs air fryer recipe uses my DIY bbq seasoning & dry rub, and other common ingredients. It’s the perfect crowd-pleaser that the whole family will enjoy. Make this if you love bacon, juicy hot dogs, and are looking for easy, quick, and juicy food options for game day tailgating events, barbecues, or just busy weeknights.

Why Make This

  • Easy and Quick: This easy meal requires less than 10 main ingredients and comes together in under 20 minutes. Also, prepping the ingredients and the actual cooking processes aren’t complicated.
  • Versatile Meal Option: making a delicious meal with these air fryer bacon-wrapped hot dogs is quite easy since any side dish for bbq, including a simple side salad, would work!
  • Low-carb option: This hot dogs recipe has low-carb and keto variations for anyone who wants to cut carbs while keeping the flavors locked. You can use a keto bbq seasoning & dry rub, keto bbq sauce, and a low-carb bun.

Ingredients Needed

  • Pork bacon: Thinly sliced (if you don’t eat pork, you can swap the pork bacon with turkey bacon).
  • Hot dogs: Beef or turkey, lightly scored
  • BBQ seasoning
  • Hickory bbq sauce
  • Hot dog buns

See the complete instructions and full ingredient amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

How To Make Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs In The Air Fryer

Use these 4 easy steps to make the best hot dog wrapped in bacon:

  1. Toss the raw bacon in the seasoning. 
  2. Wrap bacon slices around each hot dog tightly and use a toothpick to secure the bacon if needed
  3. Add the bacon-wrapped hot dogs inside the air fryer basket in a single layer at 400 degrees for a cooking time of 6 minutes.
  4. Flip the bacon-wrapped hot dogs and brush on about half the bbq sauce. Air fry at 400 degrees for 4-6 additional minutes to crisp the bacon to a golden brown color. Brush on the additional sauce before serving.

Recipe Tips & FAQs

  • You can use my keto brown sugar rub, sauce, and a low carb bun for keto or low-carb options.
  • Score the hot dogs: Use a knife to lightly score the hot dogs. Scoring helps them to cook evenly without losing their juices.
  • Add your bbq sauce later in the cooking to prevent it from burning.
  • Use parchment paper or aluminum foil: an easy way to reduce clean up time is to place parchment paper on the bottom of the air fryer basket before you start cooking bacon wrapped hot dogs. If you have an air fryer oven, you can use put the baking sheet that comes with your air fryer tray to catch any drippings.
  • Use thin cut bacon: For me, thinly-sliced bacon is the best bacon since it is easier to crisp. If you want to use thick cut bacon, I recommend that you pre-cook it for about 5 minutes like I do in my bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers.
  • For additional crispy textures and to take the crunch factor to the next level, a great option is to eat these hotdogs with toasted buns.

Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog Toppings

Besides your favorite toppings, some options are:

  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • Sauerkraut
  • Barbecue sauce
  • Diced raw onions
  • Pickles

How to Store Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs

The best way to store any leftover hot dogs is in an airtight container for the next day (up to 3-4 days).

How do you keep bacon on a hot dog?

Use toothpicks to secure the bacon to the hot dog.

How do you get crispy bacon wrapped?

When making air fryer bacon-wrapped hotdogs, flip them after the first 6 minutes, then air fry them for another 6 minutes to crisp. Depending on the thickness of your bacon, you can also pre-cook the bacon for 5-6 minutes.

How long does it take to grill bacon-wrapped hot dogs?

It takes about 20–30 minutes.
