Additional Air Frying Tips:
- Spray nonstick cooking spray on the basket or use parchment paper to prevent sausages sticking to the basket.
- Do not overcrowd the basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, only put one layer of sausages with space in between for best air flow.
- Unless you have the rotisserie function in your air fryer, flip the sausages half way cooking time for even cooking.
