Air Fryer Chicken Sausages

This recipe teaches how to cook chicken sausages in an air fryer, resulting in browned, slightly crisp sausages with a juicy interior. The process differs slightly depending on whether the sausages are pre-cooked, raw, or frozen. The technique involves preheating the air fryer, lightly oiling the sausages, and cooking them at 360°F while flipping midway for even browning.

Description

Air Fryer Chicken Sausages calls for placing 4 to 6 chicken sausages in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, sprayed lightly with avocado or olive oil. For raw sausages, small holes are poked into the casing to prevent bursting during cooking. The air fryer is preheated to 360°F and cooking times vary: precooked sausages air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, while uncooked or frozen sausages require 12 to 15 minutes. During cooking, sausages are flipped halfway to ensure even browning and a slight crispness on the outside. Proper internal temperature should reach 165°F for safe consumption.

The recipe suggests serving the cooked sausages without a bun alongside salads or vegetables, or in buns with toppings. It accommodates different sausage flavors and types and offers flexibility to use sausage patties instead of links.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 - 6 chicken sausage precooked or uncooked (any flavor
  • avocado oil or olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
  2. Place chicken sausages in a single layer into the preheated air fryer. Spray with a little avocado or olive oil cooking spray. They should NOT overlap. If sausages are uncooked, poke 3 - 4 small holes with a sharp knife in each sausage before air frying.
  3. Pre-Cooked Sausages: Air fry for 8 - 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through until brown, slightly crisp, with an internal temperature of 165°F. Every air fryer is different, so check at the 6-minute mark! They might be done.
  4. Uncooked & Frozen Sausages: Air fry for 12 - 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through until brown, slightly crisp, with an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Serve bunless with your favorite side salad, roasted or grilled vegetables for dinner, with eggs for breakfast, or in a bun with toppings.

Notes

  • Other sausage types like turkey, pork, or beef can be used in place of chicken sausages.
  • Chicken sausage patties can substitute links and be prepared similarly in the air fryer.
  • Poking sausages with a knife prevents bursting by allowing steam to escape during cooking.
  • Lightly spraying sausages with oil helps achieve a crispy texture and prevents sticking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes or in a microwave until warmed through, with air fryer reheating recommended for best texture.
