Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken sausage links (I used Jones Fully Cooked Chicken Sausage)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Place a piece of parchment paper in bottom of air fryer basket
  • Place sausages on top
  • Drizzle sausages with olive oil
  • Cook at 385 ℉ for 8 minutes, then flip
  • Cook for an additional 4-6 minutes until heated through and slightly browned

Notes

  • Store leftover sausage in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer (350℉ for 3–4 minutes), microwave (30–45 seconds, covered), or sauté on the stovetop over low to medium heat.
  • Add 3-5 minutes to the cook time for frozen sausage links and check the internal temperature.
  • Chicken sausage must reach 165℉ for safety.
  • Let sausages rest 2–3 minutes before serving.
