- Ketchup
- Mustard
- BBQ sauce
- Pickles

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!
- 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!
