Frequently asked questions

Is Aidells chicken sausage pre cooked?

Yes, all varieties of Aidells chicken sausages are fully cooked before packaging. That being said, they do still need to be reheated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. That is the minimum temperature that poultry needs to reach for it to be considered safe to eat.

Do Aidells sausages need to be refrigerated?

Yes, keep the chicken sausages in the fridge until you are ready to cook. Leftovers need to be refrigerated as well.

Can you cook frozen chicken sausage in the air fryer?

Yes, you can! If you don't have the several hours to defrost the sausages in the refrigerator, simply air fry them for a few extra minutes.

How do I cut down mess in the air fryer?

Line the basket with a parchment paper liner that is made specially for air fryers. You can also cut a square of parchment paper from the roll to line the basket. Be sure to preheat the appliance before placing the parchment in the bottom of the basket, right when you are ready to add the sausages.

Do you have to flip sausages in the air fryer?

I suggest flipping the chicken sausages once, about halfway through the cook time. The meat will cook thoroughly either way. However, giving it a flip will help the sausages get evenly browned on all sides.

Can I use a different type of sausage in this air fryer recipe?

Sure you can! This basic recipe is great for air frying any brand or type of chicken sausages.

Leftovers

Store leftovers in the air tight container for up to 5 days days. Reheat in the air fryer for 1 minute at 400 degrees or in the microwave.
