Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken sausages (precooked, raw, or frozen – like Aidells Chicken Apple Sausage)
  • Olive oil spray (optional)
  • Air fryer (any model, preheat if required)

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Lightly coat sausages with olive oil using a silicone brush.
  3. Place sausages in a single layer in the basket, spaced apart.
  4. Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden with internal temperature reaching 165°F (74°C).
  5. Let rest a few minutes before serving. Enjoy in a bun, salad, or as is!
  6. For raw sausages: Cook at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  7. For frozen sausages: Cook at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure raw sausages reach 165°F. For extra crispiness, spray lightly with oil. Don’t overcrowd the basket to allow proper air circulation.
