Can I cook chicken and veg together in an air fryer?

Yes! As long as the sausage is pre-cooked, they can safely go in together. Everything cooks evenly in about 10 minutes.

How long does it take to cook chicken sausages in an air fryer?

If they’re pre-cooked, sliced sausages only need about 8–10 minutes at 390°F.

Can you air fry meat and vegetables at the same time?

Absolutely. Just make sure they’re cut to similar sizes, so nothing overcooks or undercooks.

Can I put raw sausages in the air fryer?

Yes, but you’ll need to cook them longer—usually 15–20 minutes depending on thickness. Always check the internal temp (should be 165°F).
