6 hot dogs
6 bacon slices
6 hot dog buns
favorite condiments and toppings, for serving
Wrap each hot dog with a slice of bacon, making sure not to overlap the bacon so that it will cook evenly. Secure both ends of the bacon to the hot dog with wooden toothpicks.
TO BAKE:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the hot dogs on a baking sheet that has been lined with aluminum foil or with parchment paper.
Bake the hot dogs for 13-16 minutes, flipping hot dogs halfway through the cooking time, until the bacon is cooked through and crispy.
Allow hot dogs to sit for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks. Serve on the hot dog buns.
TO GRILL:
Preheat the grill over high heat, approximately 400 degrees F.
Rub the grill grates with olive oil or spray with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent the hot dogs from sticking to the grill.
Place the bacon wrapped hot dogs on the grill; cook with the lid closed, for 8-12 minutes, turning hot dogs every 2-3 minutes, until the bacon is browned and crispy.
Remove the hot dogs from the grill. Allow them to sit for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks. Serve on the hot dog buns.
AIR FRYER:
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. If the air fryer doesn't have a preheat option, run the air fryer at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes to warm it up.
Rub the air fryer basket with oil to prevent the hot dogs from sticking to the basket. Place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket; cook at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes. Flip over the hot dogs; cook for 5-6 minutes at 400 degrees F until the bacon is cooked through and crispy.
Remove the hot dogs from the air fryer. Allow them to sit for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks. Serve on the hot dog buns.
