How Do I Make BBQ Little Smokies in the Air Fryer?
Note: These were cooked using the Cosori 5.8 Air Fryer. If you’re using a different air fryer you may need to add 1-2 minutes to ensure your Lil Smokies are fully cooked. If you’re using the Cosori 5.8, they’ll be perfect!
How long should I cook Lit’l Smokies sausages in the air fryer?
All air fryers can cook differently according to the power output, or wattage. I find that cooking them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes is perfect.
What dipping sauce can I use for Air Fryer Little Smokies?
I use my favorite brand of barbecue sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s) to dip these in. However, that caramelized brown sugar mixed with the barbecue sauce makes them delicious enough to skip the dipping sauce.
How do I store leftover Lit’s Smokies?
Store leftover Air Fryer Little Smokies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the little smokies in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. More Air Fryer Appetizers:
