To make pigs-in-a-blanket, you can take a regular-sized hot dog and cut it in half. Then roll the two halves in the pastry and brush them with an egg wash.
Cook them at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for about eight minutes until the puff pastry is golden, and they're ready to eat.
There's hardly any preparation involved, and minimal cleanup too
If you hate planning and tidying up, this is your go-to meal.
You won't have to deal with cleaning the grill or messy pans and griddles.
Cooking with the air fryer is as simple as sticking hot dogs inside the machine and setting the timer and heat settings.

It doesn't matter whether the hot dogs are frozen or thawed
Cooking time varies, but you don't need to preheat the air fryer to cook the hot dogs.
You also can make them frozen, just add a couple of minutes to the cooking time.
Air-fried hot dogs come out perfectly cooked and juicy
Unlike a grill, you don't have to worry about char or uneven cooking.
They're evenly cooked and swell up with moisture and juiciness.
The hot dog looks perfect after coming out of the air fryer
Making a few cuts into the hot dog prevents it from getting shriveled or wrinkled. It also makes it crispy.
