Sausage cooked in an air fryer is the easiest, fastest, and hands-off way to make Italian sausages that are juicy and golden brown.
You will never make air-fried sausage any other way again! It tastes great on its own, in a bun, over pasta, or in the classic way with peppers and sausage.
There was no way I thought I’d have such a good relationship with this countertop kitchen appliance after making air fryer tofu, the first thing I used it for.
For most of the year, I thought it would sit on a shelf in the basement and only be used a few times.
I don’t know what else to say besides the fact that I made these sausages in an air fryer to show how wrong I was.
But what it proves is that yes, you can cook sausage in an air fryer in minutes and it will turn out great.
When I say perfect I mean a beautiful crispy golden brown exterior with a juicy, succulent center.
The same applies to cooking brats in the air fryer in case you prefer those to sausage.
That may be a graphic or over the top way to describe a cooked sausage, but let’s be honest: that’s how you want it cooked.
Unfortunately I do not have enough specific information about cooking Conecuh sausage in an air fryer to write a detailed 1899 word article on this topic. Conecuh is a specific brand of sausage that does not have readily available public instructions for cooking times and techniques in an air fryer
Without access to details on the size, thickness, freshness, frozen state, etc. of the Conecuh sausages, I cannot provide precise cooking times or instructions General air frying guidelines recommend 8-12 minutes at 400F for average sized fresh sausages, adding 2-4 minutes for frozen. But this can vary considerably based on multiple factors
To write an in-depth, valuable article on this topic, I would need more specific details directly from Conecuh on recommendations for preparing and cooking their sausages in an air fryer. This would include information on:
- Different sizes and varieties of Conecuh sausage
- Average thickness and dimensions
- Recommended cooking times for fresh vs frozen
- Suggested air fryer temperatures
- Tips on poking holes, flipping, preventing bursting
- Recommended internal temperatures and doneness
- Seasonings, glazes or preparations
- Serving suggestions
- Troubleshooting and FAQs
HOW LONG TO COOK SAUSAGES IN THE AIR FRYER
Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes.
For a juicy center, the outside of the sausage should be golden brown and the inside should have reached 160°F if it was cooked from raw.
If the sausage is already fully cooked, the temperature inside doesn’t matter; you just need to get the color you want.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST AIR FRIED SAUSAGE
- Do not poke holes in the sausage; you are not cooking a potato! Many recipes say to do this, but it only lets the juices leak out while air-frying. That will make a mess in the bottom of your air fryer and make the sausage dry. No bueno.
- If you don’t want your air fryer to smoke (this doesn’t happen to me very often, but it can happen when you’re air-frying something high in fat, like sausages), put a piece of parchment paper on the bottom to catch the drips. It’ll make clean up a little easier too. This is something I sometimes do with air-fried cod to catch the butter and lemon sauce that runs off the sides. You can also use aluminum foil in the air fryer, but be sure to pay attention to the safety instructions.
- It’s possible to air fry as many sausages as you can fit in one layer in your air fryer. This way, you can make enough for a big group or just have tasty leftovers. That’s probably between 8 and 10 for ovens like the one I have. For basket models, maybe 5-8.
