These crispy air fryer pigs in a blanket feature a golden, flaky crust wrapped around juicy mini hot dogs, making a quick and easy snack perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
  • 1 (8 oz) can Pillsbury crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Dijon mustard (optional, for dipping or brushing inside dough)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (optional, for sprinkling on top)
  • Cooking spray (to grease air fryer basket)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it warm up for about 3 minutes.
  2. Open the crescent roll can and unroll the dough onto a clean surface. Cut the dough into 12 equal strips about 1 inch wide using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife.
  3. Wrap each mini hot dog tightly in a strip of dough, overlapping slightly to stick together.
  4. Lightly brush each wrapped pig in a blanket with melted butter.
  5. Optionally, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning or a pinch of coarse salt on top.
  6. Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the pigs in a blanket in a single layer with space between each.
  7. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8 minutes, flipping each pig in a blanket halfway through at about 4 minutes for even crisping.
  8. Check that the dough is golden and crisp and sausages are heated through. Add 1-2 more minutes if extra crispiness is desired, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Transfer to a plate and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve warm with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Preheat the air fryer for best crispiness. Brush with melted butter for a golden flaky crust. Flip halfway through cooking for even browning. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed. Dough can be chilled if too sticky. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days and reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
