Ingredients

2 chicken sausages

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer by running it at 390°F (200°C) (thin sausages) or 360°F (180°C) (thick sausages) for 5 minutes. Then add water to the bottom of the air fryer basket to avoid excessive smoking.
Place the sausages in the air fryer basket and air fry at 390°F (200°C) (thin sausages) for 4-6 minutes or 360°F (180°C) (thick sausages) for 6-8 minutes, turning them once halfway.
