Tips for making the best air fried sausages in crescent rolls.

Little smokies cocktail sausages were used to make my pigs in a blanket. You could however use full sized sausages or hot dogs and slice them into smaller (about two inch) pieces. Flavored sausages, chicken sausage, or vegan sausage can also work. I would stick to pre-cooked sausages.

More helpful tips for you.

1. It is a good idea to use a clean paper towel to remove any moisture from the sausages before wrapping them inside of the dough. Doing so can help the dough stick to the sausages better.
2. When placed into your air fryer basket, the rolled up sausages should not touch one another as the dough will grow and the warm air needs to circulate in order to cook evenly.
3. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to make this recipe in batches. Your second batch can be prepared while your first batch is air frying.
