You love quick, crispy meals, and Air Fryer Recipes UK knows exactly how to make the most of them. When it comes to cooking sausages in an air fryer, aim for 10–12 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F). Preheat your air fryer, lay the sausages in a single layer, and turn them halfway through. You’ll get juicy sausages with golden skin — perfect for everything from air fryer breakfasts to weeknight dinners.
For even better results, check out our Air Fryer Conversion Chart, ideal for adjusting temperatures and timings for pork, beef, turkey, or veggie sausages. And don’t forget to browse our Air Fryer Knowledge Library for expert tips, FAQs, and cleaning advice that’ll keep your machine in top shape. With hundreds of tried and tested meals like air fryer cod fillets or air fryer eggs, there’s no guesswork needed.
If you’re working with fresh sausages, especially chunky Cumberland or Lincolnshire links, you’re looking at that 10–12 minute mark. Lighter chipolatas or chicken sausages? Check at 7–10 minutes. Frozen sausages take a little longer—15–20 minutes at 180–200 °C is the sweet spot. That goes for meat-free sausages too. Turn halfway through for even cooking and consistent browning.
For recipe ideas, try pairing your sausages with air fryer sweet potato fries, a vegetable medley, or even a full sausage veg tray bake. Explore healthy recipes, or check out our comfort food collection for classic family favourites.
Always preheat to 180 °C. It helps lock in flavour and delivers that even golden crisp. Turn the sausages halfway to avoid uneven browning. Resist the urge to pierce — it’ll dry them out. For pork or chicken, that internal temp sweet spot is 75 °C. You’ll find more tricks like this in our cleaning guide to deal with drips and grease after cooking.
Why stop at sausages? Use them in a chicken and veg tray bake, load up a breakfast wrap, or plate them with air fryer roast vegetables. Looking for more protein ideas? Try air fryer lamb leg steaks, ribeye steak, or even stuffed peppers for a healthy balance.
If you're after variety, browse our air fryer chicken recipes, from breaded fillets to southern fried chicken. Or take a sweet detour with bread and butter pudding or a fluffy lemon drizzle cake.
