1 Box frozen pigs in a blanket, any brand
Cook on the air fry setting for 8 minutes at 375°F
Pigs in a blanket are done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F and both the dogs and dough are browned. Add additional cooking time in 1-2 minute increments if needed
Serve alone or with your favorite dipping sauces!
Notes
I’m using Apetito’s (Aldi) everything franks in a blanket today, but you can use other brands of frozen pigs in a blanket such as Hebrew National, Nathan’s, or Costco as well
These appetizers are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with dipper options like a regular hot dog. Mustard is my favorite, but ketchup is another good option!
Whether you want to flip the pigs in a blanket halfway through cooking is up to you. It will give you more even browning on all sides if you do. However, it tends to make the pastry flake and if you’re using everything seasoned like I am, you’ll lose some topping. I prefer the softer bottoms and intact tops, but realize this is personal preference
You do not need to spray pigs in a blanket with oil before cooking. There is enough natural oils from the dough and hot dogs that you don’t need it, and you don’t want to over crisp the bread and make it too hard
My frozen pigs in a blanket were perfect after exactly 8 minutes in a Ninja Foodi Dual Zone air fryer. Per an instant read thermometer, they were 166°F in the center. Other brands of air fryer and pigs may vary slightly
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Leftover pigs in blankets should be consumed within 3 days
Reheat your refrigerated pigs in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 350°F or until a temperature of 165°F is reached again
Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand of ingredients, any sauces or sides added, and quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
