Place the links in the basket without overcrowding them.
8 breakfast sausage links
Set the air fryer at 400 degrees F and cook them for the time given below.Fresh breakfast sausage: 8-10 minutesFrozen raw sausage: 10-12 minutesFrozen cooked sausage (brown and serve): 6-8 minutes
At the halfway mark, either flip the sausage links or shake the basket for even cooking.
To ensure the sausages are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature has reached 160 F. Alternatively, you can cut open one sausage link and verify there is no pink meat left.
Notes
There is no need to add any oil. The sausage contains enough fat to cook without any extra oil.
Don't overcrowd the basket. Overcrowding will prevent the hot air from circulating around the links, and they won't cook evenly.
To make sure that the sausages cook evenly, flip them or shake the basket halfway through the cooking time.
