Remember to shake the basket or flip the hot dogs half way through cooking time to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
Making it with slits
Make 3 to 4 slits about ¼ in deep on each hot dogs. Place in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8 mins.
Warming the buns
When the hot dogs are cooked. Put the hotdogs in the buns and place in the air fryer basket and let the residual heat warm it up.
If you prefer the hot dog buns lightly toasted, brush the inside of the buns with butter then place in the air fryer basket set temp to 400°F (200°C) and air fry butter side up for 2 mins.

Notes
No need to preheat the air fryer. If you do, cook hot dogs for less time. Start checking for doneness at 6 mins.
If cooking with an air fryer oven like the instant pot vortex oven cook in the middle rack for a couple less minutes because it automatically preheats for 5 mins
Do not over crowd the basket and be sure to flip the hot dogs half way through cooking time.
