How Do You Cook Corn Dogs In An Airfryer: Tried And Tested Techniques
The best technique in creating delicious corn dogs in an air fryer is to freeze them beforehand. The wet batter doesn’t work well in the air fryer, and it might get stuck in the air fryer basket or get burned during the frying process, leaving the inside raw.
Another thing, if you can get a sturdy Styrofoam, you can pin down the corn dogs to retain their shape after you dredge them in the thick batter before freezing them.
You can use a different sausage variation depending on who will be eating the corn dogs. You can select a kid-friendly sausage such as beef or pork. But, if you are serving this to some adults, you can experiment on spiced sausages found in deli stores or supermarkets.
Whole-wheat flour is being used in this recipe to give a unique texture and flavor to the frozen corn dogs in the air fryer, but you may use yellow cornmeal if you don’t have any wheat flour.
You may also use semolina, breadcrumbs, ground oats, or even rice flour in this recipe.
The batter’s thick consistency is the key to getting the corn dogs’ specific texture and shape. The batter can range from a thick cake mixture to a thick pancake mixture.
Just like any other baking recipe, salt is added to the batter. It creates a binding effect in the flour’s gluten content, and it enables holding the water and gas much better.
So, don’t be shocked that this recipe has half a teaspoon of salt. After all, this corn dog recipe is considered a baked item.
How Long Do You Cook Frozen Corn Dogs In The Air Fryer?
You can cook frozen corn dogs for at least 20 minutes in the air fryer, given that the temperature is at 180 degrees Celcius. Some recipes go for 200 degrees Celcius; however, there is a chance of getting it burned and still raw on the inside — which we don’t want on our favorite food item.
Depending on your air fryer’s size, you may want to cut the wooden skewers to fit the basket. If you are using a smaller type of air fryer, you can cut the wooden skewers, leaving a half-inch of skewers from the corn dogs’ edge and pulling it out once it is cook.
Another side will be cooking the corn dogs vertically if you have a smaller air fryer.
