What to serve with bacon hot dogs:
Potato chips and hot dogs are a classic combo! So are French fries. I like to eat my bacon wrapped hot dogs without a bun or anything on top because I feel that the bacon and hot dogs are a strong flavor and do not need anything else! You can put them in a bun with hot dog toppings like ketchup, mustard, relish, etc if you feel like they would taste better that way.
How to make bacon wrapped hot dogs:
There are a few ways you can make bacon wrapped hot dogs. One is obviously the air fryer. If you do not have an air fryer, you can make bacon wrapped hot dogs in oven or grill.
If in oven, make sure to wrap the bacon tighter around the hot dog. Using the oven does not allow the bacon to hug the hot dog as much as it does when air frying. You will also want to use a pan that will catch the bacon grease. Oven bake the hot dogs for about 15 minutes or until the hot dog center is hot and the bacon is crispy.
Bacon wrapped hot dogs grilled is another option. Prepare like normally but grill until bacon is crispy and internal temp of hot dog is hot.

This recipe tastes amazing but can be a bit greasy with the bacon and hotdogs together. I love it but use pickles or relish to break up the fats and I would also recommend a bun if this is an issue for you too.
