Instructions

Air Fryer Instructions:

  • Open the air fryer and spray or brush the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Return the air fryer basket to the air fryer.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While the air fryer is preheating, cut 4 diagonal slits on the top of each chicken sausage, about a half an inch apart.
  • Once the air fryer is preheated, add the chicken sausages in a single layer. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes until done. Flip the sausages halfway through.
  • Once done, immediately remove the sausages from the air fryer, let cool, then enjoy!

Frozen Chicken Sausage In Air Fryer:

  • Open the air fryer and spray or brush the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Return the air fryer basket to the air fryer.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once the air fryer is preheated, add the chicken sausages to the air fryer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until done. Flip the sausages halfway through.
  • Once done, immediately remove the sausages from the air fryer, let cool, then enjoy!

Notes

Storage And Reheating Instructions:
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 to minutes until warm or microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.
Pro Tips:
  • Chicken sausage is very lean so be careful not to overcook the chicken sausages as they will become rubbery.
  • Do not stack the chicken sausages. Cook in a single layer for the best results.
  • The air fryer that I used was the Instant Vortex Plus 6 quart. All air fryers cook differently, so you may need to adjust the time slightly based on the air fryer you use.
