Pretty much any meat that's typically made on the stove top can also be made in the air fryer. Chicken sausage is no different.

I would argue that chicken sausage comes out even better in the air fryer. The outside becomes crispy and the inside stays juicy!

I've been making this recipe for quite a bit and I realized I never shared it so here we are!
