Step-By-Step Guide
Step-1:Preheat
Simply preheat your air fryer to 400 F for 3 mins.
Step-2:Cooking
Once the air fryer has been preheated, place 3-5 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 what time exactly the chicken sausages takes to get ready.
Pro Tips
1- Preheat is recommended for this recipe for better crispiness and more evenly cooking.
2- Make sure to check the internal temperature of sausages; it should be 165 F for safe consumption.
3- The overall cooking time can vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and effectiveness.
4- It’s better to leave a small space between sausages for better circulation of air. For bulk cooking, you can cook them in batches.
5- This recipe involves air frying precooked sausages, that’s why the time duration for cooking is from 8 mins. If you are cooking raw sausages, they will take double the time to be cooked.
What you can serve with chicken sausages
The options are many, but it depends on your taste. You can serve plenty of dishes with chicken sausages such as frozen onion rings, sweet potato fries, green beans and amylu chicken meatballs.
You can also try a variety of dips and sauces to add more delight. My favorite dips are jalapeno dip, ranch dip, and Mexican cheese dip.

Storage and reheating of chicken sausages
You can easily store and reheat chicken sausages without any problem.
Simply pack them in an airtight container and place them in the freezer; they can last easily for 3 days. They can even last longer, but I don’t prefer storing food for too long periods.
And for reheating them, simply take them out of the freezer and put them in the preheated air fryer for 5 mins at 375 F.
