Ingredients
3x chicken sausages
1 egg
Lime juice
Chilli flakes
Handful of breadcrumbs
Method
I first popped the sausages in to a bowl, added the lime juice, chilli and combined them with the egg and a handful of breadcrumbs. Then I shaped the mixture into little patties, sprayed with fry light oil and popped them into the air fryer. I cooked for 25 minutes on 160c, turning occasionally.
I used a cheddar and sun dried tomato bread mix. All you need to do is add water then kneed and rest for a while. (follow packet instructions) I made mine into little rolls, sprayed with fry light oil and popped them into the air fryer on 180c for around 15 to 20 minutes, checking occasionally. When the rolls are ready, place them on a cooling rack for a few minutes. Remove the chicken burgers from the air fryer making sure they are cooked all the way though and pop them in your ready made buns!
I served my air fried sausage burgers with watercress and onions with a dollop of mayo.
And let’s not forget about the bread. Warm, fluffy, and home-made. Made from a simple cheddar and sun-dried tomato bread mix, these homemade buns are the ideal partner for your chicken burgers. Whether you’re enjoying them fresh out of the air fryer or saving them for later, these delicious air fried sausage burgers are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
