Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 whole fresh or precooked chicken sausages any flavor
  • Cooking spray for air fryer basket

Instructions

For Fresh (Raw) Chicken Sausages

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 2 minutes. While the air fryer is preheating, cut a few score marks into the sausages to prevent them from bursting in the air fryer.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the sausages into the basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. The sausages should reach an internal temperature of 165°F on a meat thermometer.
  • To Cook From Frozen: If your raw sausages are frozen, they will take a few extra minutes to cook. Begin checking them for doneness around the 12-minute mark.

For Precooked Chicken Sausages

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 2 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the sausages into the basket in a single layer. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. The sausages should reach an internal temperature of 165°F on a meat thermometer.
  • To Cook From Frozen: If your precooked chicken sausages are frozen, they will take a few extra minutes to cook. Begin checking for doneness around the 10-minute mark.

Notes

  • Note: Every air fryer cooks a little differently. The cook times in this recipe are what worked in my air fryer. The best way to know if your chicken sausages are done is to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. They should reach 165°F.
  • Storage: Store leftover chicken sausages in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2  months.
