How To Serve Air Fryer Crescent Dogs

These crescent dogs are delicious when served with ketchup, cheese sauce, bbq sauce, co*cktail sauce, Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or spicy mustard. Those are my favorite dipping sauces.

Can I Use Frozen Pigs with Crescent Dough?

You can use frozen pigs for this blanket recipe. If you use frozen pigs, you’ll want to add on an additional minute or two to the recipe to ensure they are fully cooked before serving.

Because they are being cooked from frozen, you also may see an additional amount of smoke or steam rising from the Air Fryer. This is from the additional condensation.

WHAT AIR FRYER SHOULD I USE?

JOIN OUR NEW AIR FRYER FACEBOOK GROUP!

We love our Air Fryers and actually have two of them! If you’re in the market for an Air Fryer I love to use both the Ninja Foodie Pro and the Cosori 5.8Q.

The Ninja Foodi is a grill and has several different options. It’s also called an air crisper, and you can learn more about that here. I like this for larger projects. You can open the top and check on what’s cooking, and you can also use the temperature probe and never undercook or overcook anything again.

The Cosori has a basket, is an actual air fryer, and makes it easy to shake things around while cooking. The handle on the basket makes removing the basket easier, and it’s very easy to clean. Each works very well and I use them both with this big family of mine. I can have them both working and have dinner done FAST.

They both really do work great and I love to use them on an almost daily basis. One last thing I would recommend with whichever air fryer you choose, make sure to get some basket liners. They are amazing and help make cleanup a breeze!
