These two-bite corn dogs are cute tiny versions of regular corn dogs, minus the sticks. They are a great option to have in the freezer for those nights when you want something fast, kid-friendly, budget-friendly, and actually tasty! And cooking State Fair mini corn dogs in the air fryer is a no-fail method to make a batch in a flash.

The little doggies are made with sweet, crunchy corn breading wrapped around juicy turkey franks. They are similar to the fried snack you know and love at summer carnivals. But because these are smaller, there's no need for them to be on sticks... Mini corn dogs are a fun finger food made for dipping!

In this simple guide I show you step-by-step how to air fry frozen mini corn dogs in under 10 minutes. Even cooking from frozen they are perfectly golden crispy on the outside with pieces of moist, meaty, and smoky turkey dogs inside.

You'll definitely be inspired to keep a box or two of mini corn dogs on hand! Then easily air fry them up for snack time, kids' lunches, casual dinners, and late night cravings alongside dipping sauces and comfort food side dishes!

What to serve with corn dogs

The honey cornbread batter and juicy turkey dogs are delicious to pair with all kinds of savory, spicy, sweet and tangy sauces. Here are a few suggestions:

  1. Ketchup. This iconic tomato-based sauce is tangy and lightly sweet.
  2. Yellow Mustard. Classic to pair with corn dogs at fairs and carnivals, yellow mustard has a great tanginess.
  3. Spicy Mustard. The tang and heat are a yummy balance with the sweet!
  4. Honey Mustard. If you just can't get enough sweetness - which I can completely understand! - a robust honey mustard dressing or sauce is always a good idea.
  5. Buffalo Sauce. Give your mini corn dogs a bit of chicken wing flair by dipping them in this rich and spicy sauce.
  6. BBQ Sauce. Choose your favorite kind like hickory smoke, sweet, teriyaki, or whiskey barbecue sauce.
  7. Melted Cheese Sauce. Dipping crunchy tender little corn dogs in ooey-gooey melty cheese is next-level delicious!
  8. Sweet and Sour Sauce. This classic Asian-style sauce is sticky and luscious, and goes well with the crisp corn dog breading.
  9. Ranch Dressing. Creamy, cool and zesty ranch is a tasty contrast to the warm, sweet and savory air fried corn dogs.
  10. Aioli. Use your choice of creamy aioli ingredients and flavors like garlic, fresh herb, spicy mustard, etc.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this recipe to cook other brands of mini corn dogs?

Sure you can! Use the same State Fair recipe steps to air fry mini corn dogs from Foster Farms or your favorite store brand. You can even use it to cook vegetarian and meatless plant-based Field Roast mini corn dogs in the air fryer.

How do I get mini dogs crispy?

For the crispiest mini dogs be sure to not overcrowd the air fryer basket or let them touch. Each State Fair mini corn dog needs to have a bit of space in the basket to let the hot air evenly circulate all the way around. So work in batches if you need to cook up several servings.

Do you air fry corn dogs from frozen?

Yes, you do! There is no thawing required in this quick and easy recipe for cooking State Fair mini corn dogs in the air fryer. Cooking them from frozen gets the inside turkey frank fully reheated to the proper temperature, without overcooking or burning the breading.

Do I need to flip corn dogs in the air fryer?

No, you don't need to manually turn over each and every mini corn dog. But I do suggest giving the basket a good shake about halfway through air frying for an even cook on all sides.
