How To Make Air Fryer Chicken Sausages
Chicken sausages can be cooked with minimalistic ingredients, takes less time, and tastes as good as delicious. And it’s tried and tested.
Ingredients
Pack of Italian style smoked chicken sausages (Good & Gather Brand)
Olive oil (Optional)
Step-By-Step Guide
Step-1:Preheat
Start with preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200°C). This will create an internal hot temperature that will help the chicken sausages to crisp up from the outside and stay juicy inside.
Step-2:Cooking
Once the air fryer has been preheated, place 3-5 pre-cooked chicken sausages in your air fryer basket. The number of sausages you can put in the air fryer will depend on your air fryer size.
Set the timer to 8 mins and temperature at 375 F. Flip them or give them a shake after 4 mins.
The cooking time for different air fryers varies, so it’s better to check the progress of your sausages once they start cooking. I keep checking them constantly after 4 mins have passed. You can do the same for the first time, then you will get a clearer idea of how exactly it takes for chicken sausages to get ready.
