Breakfast sausage in the air fryer
This method is for raw uncooked breakfast sausage links. Not brown and serve links. You can find raw uncooked breakfast sausage links in the freezer section of your local grocery store.
OR they can sometimes be found in the meat department as well. I don’t always find them there especially right now as supply chains are whacky.
If you want to use brown and serve sausages the cook time is very short. And you really only need to cook them until they’re hot inside. Like 3-4 minutes at the most. Even these Grilled Aidells Sausages in the air fryer only take mere minutes to heat up, and they’re full size!
Raw links take a little longer and they can be tricky to cook evenly when you use a frying pan. Cooking breakfast sausages in the air fryer eliminates under cooked and over cooked spots from traditional cooking methods. The swirling air in the air fryer cooks them evenly on all sides at once.
Plus you don’t have to scrub up the frying pan and/or a splatter guard to keep the oil from splashing out.
Don’t over cook air fryer Sausage Links
If you’re cooking sausage links in the air fryer be aware that you can easily overcook them. Start checking them for doneness after 6 minutes and check every minute or so until they’re done. They’re done when the internal temperature is 160° on an instant read thermometer.
