Description
A quick and easy recipe for cooking frozen chicken sausages in an air fryer, resulting in a crispy exterior and juicy interior in just 12 minutes. Perfect for a fast, flavorful meal with optional seasoning to enhance taste.
Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Sausages
- 4 frozen chicken sausages (e.g., Seemore Chicken Parm Sausage or any preferred brand)
Seasonings and Oil
- 4 sprays of olive oil or avocado oil spray
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crisp exterior.
- Prepare the Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil or avocado oil spray to prevent sticking during cooking.
- Arrange the Sausages: Place the frozen chicken sausages in a single layer inside the basket, leaving space between each sausage to allow for optimal air circulation.
- Season (Optional): Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika over the sausages if you desire extra flavor.
- Cook: Air fry the sausages at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking on all sides.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to verify that the internal temperature of the sausages reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Serve: Remove the cooked sausages from the air fryer basket and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving to retain juices and flavor.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on the size and brand of sausages, so always check internal temperature.
- Optional seasonings can be adjusted according to personal taste preferences.
- Resting sausages after cooking allows juices to redistribute for better flavor and texture.
- If you do not have an air fryer, this recipe can be adapted for oven baking at 375°F for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
