How to Cook Breakfast Sausage Links in an Air Fryer

Step 1. Thaw the Frozen Sausage Links

Leave the sausages in their packaging and place them on a serving bowl or plate at the bottom of the fridge. Also, make sure the temperature of the fridge is below 41°F. It can take up to 24 hours for the sausages to be defrosted.

Thawed sausages must be used within 3 days.
