FAQs
Can I cook fresh mini corn dogs instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh mini corn dogs can be air fried as well, but adjust the cooking time to about 5-6 minutes since they don’t require thawing.
What type of oil spray is best to use?
A neutral oil spray like canola or vegetable oil works best to achieve crispiness without adding flavor that conflicts with the corn dogs.
