Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8-10 pieces uncooked sausages Italian, bratwurst, or breakfast links work
  • 1 tsp olive oil optional, helps browning if sausages are very lean
  • 4 pieces hoagie buns optional for serving
  • 1 tbsp mustard optional for serving
  • 1 cup sauerkraut optional for serving
  • 1 cup grilled peppers optional for serving
  • 1 cup grilled onions optional for serving

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Poke or don’t poke: Team no-poke keeps juices in. Team 2-3 pokes per sausage prevents splitting. Pick your fighter. I don’t poke.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 380°F for 3 mins to ensure instant sizzle, not steamed sausages.
  3. Lay sausages in the basket in a single layer with space between them for even browning.
  4. Cook for 10-12 mins total, flipping at 6 minutes for deep golden brown with some darker spots.
  5. Check temperature: Done at 160°F for pork/beef, 165°F for chicken/turkey. Cut one open to ensure no pink, juices run clear.
  6. Rest for 3 mins to let the juices settle so they don’t run out when you bite in.

Notes

For extra flavor, toss hot sausages in a pan with ½ cup beer and sliced onions for 2 mins after air frying.
