Air Fryer Corn Dogs

By: Gus Published: Updated:

The air fryer is perfect for cooking frozen corn dogs quickly. They turn out crispy, delicious and almost as good as deep frying them.

Air Fryer Corn Dogs

When you pull the corn dogs out of the air fryer, they will be deliciously crispy on the outside and hot on the inside. The sausage and batter will have lots of flavor and go great with some ketchup. I recommend buying decent corn dogs for the best result.

For those that don’t know, a corn dog is a sausage dipped into a cornmeal batter and then deep-fried in very hot oil. It is a very popular food at festivals, fairs, parties, and more.

In some countries, the corn dog goes by different names. For example, in Australia, they are known as Dagwood dogs. In Japan, they are known as the American Dog. Lastly, in Canada, they are known as pogo.

Cooking Corn Dogs in the Air Fryer

You will need to use frozen corn dogs for this recipe as you need the batter to stick to the sausage. Our homemade corn dog batter will not work as it will simply slide off before the air fryer can cook it.

A single batch of these corn dogs should feed roughly four people, but it heavily depends on whether you are feeding big eaters. If you need to feed a crowd, I suggest cooking some more food to go along with the corn dogs.

Corn Dog Serving Ideas

There are loads of condiments that go perfectly with corn dogs. My all-time favorite is ketchup, but others such as BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, or even ranch dressing are worth a try. Let us know which one you like to use the most.

Corn dogs go fantastic with a good serving of steak fries. You can try making some sweet potato fries for something more delicious and healthier.

If you live in Australia and crave even more comfort food, then consider cooking some dim sims and Chiko rolls in the air fryer as well. These will fit with the corn dogs if you have a large air fryer; otherwise, you may need to cook them separately.

Mini Corn Dogs with Ketchup

A good side salad will match nicely with these corn dogs. Personally, I love to make a delicious potato salad, but something easy like a green salad will also work.
