I’ve been wanting to try air fried corn dogs & I did for the 1st time last night. The only brand I will eat is State Fair. I followed your recipe exactly since it was the same brand! My husband & I both prefer them in the air fryer as the outside is crisper & the hotdog has better flavor as well as they don’t get cold as fast either!
