Air Fryer Corn Dogs Recipe

Are you craving a nostalgic, golden-brown delicacy that’s tasty and convenient? Look no further! Welcome to our Air Fryer Corn Dogs Recipe, where we bring you the excellent fusion of a crisp, sweet cornmeal coating encasing a juicy, succulent hot dog.

Ingredients

• 4 hot dogs

• 12 Tbsp all-purpose flour

• 10 Tbsp yellow cornmeal

• ½ tsp baking soda

• 2 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tsp sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 cup buttermilk

• 2 cups breadcrumbs

• Cooking spray

Instructions

1. Prep the Hot Dogs:
   Cut each hot dog in half (for 8 mini corn dogs), and insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into each piece.

2. Prepare the Batter:
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
   In another bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk.
   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth and well combined.
   Pour the batter into a tall glass (makes dipping easier).

3. Prepare the Coating:
   Place breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl or plate.

4. Coat the Hot Dogs:
   Lightly dust each hot dog with a little flour (not listed in main ingredients—just a tablespoon or two to help the batter stick).
   Dip each hot dog into the batter, turning to coat evenly.
   Let any excess batter drip off, then roll in the breadcrumbs, gently pressing to adhere.

5. Air Fry:
   Lightly spray the coated corn dogs with cooking spray.
   Arrange in a single layer in your air fryer basket—don’t overcrowd. (Cook in batches if needed.)
   Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning.

6. Serve:
   Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces!

Tips:

• For an extra crispy crust, double-coat with batter and breadcrumbs.

• If batter is too thick, thin it with a splash of buttermilk.

• These are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes.

FAQ

What cornmeal should you buy for Corn Dogs?

Fine yellow cornmeal is recommended. Avoid using “medium” or “course” cornmeal. They will have too many granules, and they won’t work. It is usually finely ground, according to my experience.

What dip should I use for Corn Dogs?

When dipped into your favorite sauce, these corn dogs can become the delicious meal you expect. You can use ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, relish, ranch, honey mustard, Barbecue sauce, garlic aioli, or special sauces like Chick-fil-A sauce or Arby’s Bronco Berry sauce.

Can I Refrigerate Corn Dogs?

Frozen corn dogs don’t keep well because they are pre-cooked and then reheated in an air fryer. You can refrigerate them, but they will lose their texture. Cooked corn dogs are best eaten immediately.

Is there a gluten-free alternative for Corn Dogs?

Many brands make gluten-free corn dogs. Foster Farms and Applegate Naturals are two examples. There are many options available to meet any dietary restrictions. This recipe will work with your favorite corn dogs!

Can I make vegan Corn Dogs?

You can still enjoy this tasty meal with vegan corn dogs. Morning Star Farms or Field Roast makes delicious plant-based corn dogs, which can be used in this recipe.

Who is the inventor of Corn Dog?

Understandably, many want to be the corn dog inventor, as who wouldn’t love to be a US hotdog hero?

Although many people claim to have invented the deliciousness of hot dogs, no one can be held responsible. Brothers Neil and Carl Fletcher introduced the “corny dog” to the Texas State Fair in 1942. The people went wild! Although the Fletcher brothers thought their idea was unique, they weren’t the first to cook a corndog.

The earliest source we could find is husband and wife Versa and George Boyington; they claimed that they invented the corndog in Oregon’s Rockaway Beach in the 1930s.

George came up with the idea to make “buns” by coating the franks with a pancake batter mixture. His invention was called the Pronto Pup.

This Mango Jelly Recipe is a favorite of everyone. You can keep in your pantry and make delicious sandwiches for the busy back-to-school season. This jelly is made with vibrant mango and can be used as a fruit dip or sandwich topping.

I am always looking for healthier dessert recipes. I love keto mason jar ice cream and low-carb cocoa banana muffin. Both are delicious and great desserts.

Recently, however, I came across a recipe in an old cookbook for making jelly from scratch. I was intrigued by the amount of fruit it contained so I decided to give it a try. It does contain sugar, so it’s not low-carb, but it still provides all the nutrients and is delicious. 

So let’s jump into recipe, however, I would recommend you to read the full article for the best possible results. 

Ingredients

Mango Jelly Recipe

I kept it simple as always. I’ve made this recipe a few times to be sure it is perfect. It turned out to be quite delicious. I used light syrup made from tinned mangos. If you don’t have it, you could use fresh mangos instead, and the volume can be increased by adding water. It’s very simple to make and takes only a few minutes. After it’s done, just place it in the fridge for a while.  

Is Mango Jelly Vegan-friendly

Gelatine is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians as it comes from an animal. You can find vegetarian alternatives in agar , and some vegetarian gelatine products at supermarkets.

The gelatine leaves were a lot easier to use than the gelatine paste I used before. It is easy to dissolve the gelatine leaves by soaking them in water for 5 minutes. Then, you can add it to warm liquid.

Mango Jelly Sandwich

Mango jelly sandwich can be used for any occasion that lets you prepare a meal when in a hurry. It’s crucial that parents plan ahead for meals as we move into back-to-school season. It is important that the meals are easy to prepare, tasty, and suitable for children who will be returning to school.

This is where the Mango Jelly comes in. This mango jelly will delight your family with its delicious flavor and make your peanut butter and jelly sandwich even more delicious.

You can see by now why I’m such a big fan of this superfruit mango recipe.

Mango Health Benefits

• Every mango serving is free of cholesterol, has optimal amounts of sodium and it’s low in fat.
• Mangoes covers around 10-15% of your daily fiber needs. And we all know how important fiber is for your gut. Mango also provides high amount of Folate.
• A cup of mango provides 10% of the daily copper intake.
• A cup of this fruit has only 100 calories and makes a delicious, sweet treat.

How to select a Mango

The United States has many mango varieties that have different growth sizes depending on seasons. 

You’ll find at least one of six main varieties of mangos in the grocery store throughout the year: Keitt and Kent, Honey, Francis, Tommy Atkins, as well as Haden.

Every mango variety has its own distinct flavor so try different types at different times of year. Each mango can differ in color, ranging from golden to green You shouldn’t rely solely on the mango’s color to tell if it is ripe. Instead, when you take it squeeze it a bit, and you should have a good sense if it’s ripe.

How to Make a Mango Jelly Sandwich

When it comes to sandwiches, there’s not much science. PB&J is an amazing combination. You just need two slices of bread and spread on the peanut butter and mango jelly.

However, if you or someone in your family has allergies to some foods, or is gluten intolerant, there are options to overcome this with nut-free or gluten-free options.

For gluten-free option, you’ll need to buy gluten-free bread. And for a nut-free option, you can substitute peanut butter with some other butter of your choice.

Seafood boil with Garlic butter Sauce is one of the most delicious recipes. This spicy sauce can be added to any seafood boil. You can also use it on the side for dipping the deliciousness in.

Seafood Boil Sauce

Many people simply throw the cooked seafood in melted butter and spice it up while it cooks. This easy recipe will allow you to cook seafood with a different seafood dipping sauce.

Gather ingredients for the Seafood Boil 

Before we start making Seafood Boil, we must make sure you have all the ingredients. This makes cooking so easy! Here’s what you will need.

•  Seafood: Shrimp, crab legs, and all other seafood.
•  Sausage: You can skip this ingredient if it is not your favorite. This recipe used beef sausage. In some recipes, they’ve used chicken sausage and meatless sausage to make this recipe.
•  Red potatoes: They are the best choice because they don’t get so mushy. If you have ordinary (russet) potatoes, you can use them. Reduce the cooking time and boil time to make them mushy.
•  You can use corn on the cob frozen. I also use fresh corn on the cob. You can make more by cutting it in half, but you don’t have to.
•  You can also add boiled eggs to your recipe. I have received photos of people adding broccoli and other vegetables. It’s great! Get creative and create what you want.

Ingredients

Seafood Boil:

• 5 clusters Snow crab legs

• 16 oz (450g) shrimp, peeled & deveined

Instructions

1. Prep the Boil

2. Cook the Veggies & Sausage

• Add potatoes and corn to the boiling, seasoned water. Cook for 10 minutes.

• Add Andouille sausage and cook 5 more minutes.

3. Add Crab Legs & Shrimp

• Add shrimp in the last 3–4 minutes (they’re done as soon as they turn pink).

• Drain the pot well. Remove bay leaves and lemon slices.

4. Make Garlic Butter Sauce

• Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, 3–5 minutes.

• Add the garlic and sauté just until fragrant (30 seconds).

• Stir in remaining butter, paprika, Old Bay, cayenne, lemon pepper, red pepper flakes, Tabasco, and lemon juice. Let butter melt fully.

• Add chicken broth, stir, and let simmer for a few minutes to combine.

5. Serve

• Pour most of the hot garlic butter sauce over the seafood mixture and gently toss to coat everything well.

• Reserve some sauce for dipping on the side.

• You can swap or add your favorite seafood—lobster tails, mussels, or clams all work.

• Make cleanup easy: serve on a large lined baking sheet or cover your table with parchment paper for a true boil-style feast.
