HOW TO MAKE THIS AIR FRYER CHICKEN SAUSAGE RECIPE
STEP 1: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray, or brush with extra virgin olive oil. Place sausages in the air fryer basket.
STEP 2: Air fry at 380 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and lightly crispy, turning links halfway through air frying time.
These chicken sausage links are delicious as a side to scrambled eggs, or other breakfast items. They can also be cut into slices and tossed with onions and bell peppers.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST AIR FRIED CHICKEN SAUSAGE
Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: Make sure there is enough room for the air flow to cook the sausages evenly. Cooking chicken sausages in a single layer will help them turn golden brown.
Turn Halfway Through: Flip the sausages or shake the basket halfway through the cooking time. Doing this ensures both sides of the sausages cook evenly.
Check Internal Temperature: Use an instant read meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Add Flavor with Sauce and Seasonings: Make the sausage even more flavorful by brushing a sauce on them before air frying. Orange sauce, BBQ sauce, or a honey mustard glaze are all great flavor additions. And although the sausage has delicious flavor alone, I like to add a pinch of salt and garlic powder too.
WAYS TO SERVE CHICKEN SAUSAGE
- Mix with your favorite pasta dish or vegetables like zucchini, or stir fry veggies for a complete meal. Pasta and veggies with this sausage is great when divided into portions for meal prep too!
- Cut up into small slices and top tortilla chops with cheese and sausage for a fun twist on nachos.
- Serve with diced sweet potatoes for a fall savory breakfast flavor.
