Ingredients
  

  • 4 hot link sausages
  • Oil spray, for coating hot links
  • 4 sausage dog buns or pretzel buns
  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • BBQ sauce
  • Pickles
  • Jalapeños
  • Sauteed onion
  • Crispy onions or shallots

Instructions
 

  • Arrange the hot link sausages in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Ensure they aren't overcrowding for maximum crispiness.
  • Lightly coat the sausages all over with oil spray. This helps achieve that perfect crispy exterior.
  • Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes. Then, carefully flip the sausages.
  • Continue air frying for another 2-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness and internal temperature.
  • If making Hot Link Sausage Dogs: Gently place the buns in the air fryer basket and warm for 30 seconds to 1 minute until lightly toasted.
  • Assemble your masterpiece! Place the hot link sausages into the warmed buns and generously add your favorite toppings like ketchup, mustard, sauteed onions, or crispy shallots!

Notes

- For extra crispy skins, ensure sausages are dry before spraying with oil.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Experiment with different buns – pretzel buns add a fantastic chewy texture!
