Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use a Meat Thermometer

Check that internal temp reaches 160°F to ensure food safety and ideal texture.

Flip Halfway Through

Turning the links ensures even browning and prevents overcooking on one side.

Do Not Overcrowd

Leave room between links for even air flow and crispy edges.

Use Parchment Liners for Easy Cleanup

Optional but helpful if cooking multiple batches back-to-back.
