Air Fryer Sausage

 

Air Fryer SausageAi

Air frying sausages is a fantastic way to get them perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Here's a comprehensive guide:

Ingredients:

  • Your choice of sausages (pork, beef, chicken, or vegetarian)

Instructions and Method:

  1. Preparation:
    • If your sausages are linked, you can separate them.1 This helps with even cooking.
    • There's no need to pierce the sausages. Piercing them allows the juices to escape, resulting in drier sausages.2
    • Optional: You can line the bottom of your air fryer with parchment paper specifically designed for air fryers to help with easier cleanup.
  2. Air Frying:
    • Place the sausages in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they're not overcrowded.3 This allows for proper air circulation.
    • Set your air fryer to the appropriate temperature:
      • For standard sausages: 200°C (400°F) is generally a good temperature.
      • Chipolatas, or smaller sausages, 180C (350F)
    • Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the sausages:
      • Generally, 12-15 minutes is sufficient for standard sausages.
      • Smaller sausages like chipolatas will cook in 8-10 minutes.
      • Frozen sausages will take longer, around 20 minutes.
    • Flip the sausages halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
    • Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the sausages reaches 160°F (71°C) for pork and beef sausages, and 165°F (74°C) for chicken sausages. This ensures they are fully cooked.
  3. Serving:
    • Once cooked, remove the sausages from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.

Tips:

  • Don't overcrowd the basket: Overcrowding will result in uneven cooking.
  • Check for doneness: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the sausages are cooked to a safe internal temperature.
  • Experiment with seasonings: While sausages are often pre-seasoned, you can add your favourite spices or herbs before cooking.
  • Clean up: air fryers can get greasy when cooking sausages, so clean up right after cooking, for easier cleaning.5
  • Frozen Sausages: It is possible to cook them from frozen, but they will take longer, and it is very important to make sure that they are fully cooked.

Enjoy your delicious air-fried sausages!
