Cocktail Sausages
Are you like me, and when you think about cocktail sausages, you think of that 1970’s appetiser?
As in the little cocktail sticks with the cocktail sausages, pineapple and some cheese.
They are one of my favourite treats over Christmas and I still make them now, even though they have been out of fashion for a lot of years.
I just love the simplicity of the food on the cocktail sticks and reminds me of just how much I love eating cocktail sausages.
Fast forward to our modern world of air frying, and I love to still make cocktail sticks with sausage, pineapple and cheese, but now the cocktail sausages are cooked in the air fryer.
Its quick to do cocktail sausages in air fryer, and you can be getting everything else ready on the sticks as the cocktail sausages cook. Then allow them to cool because otherwise that cheese will melt (saying from personal experience lol).
Today, I will be showing you air fryer cocktail sausages, honey and mustard cocktail sausages, along with how long to cook cocktail sausages in air fryer, and then you can decide how you want to enjoy them.

Can You Air Fry Frozen Cocktail Sausages?
Yes, you can air fry frozen cocktail sausages and you will love them. We have cooked many sausages from frozen in the air fryer and we love the cocktail frozen sausages the most.
Why? Because cocktail sausages are smaller (often called mini sausages) they cook faster in the air fryer. They also carry a little more fat than the healthier alternative meaning that they brown better.
How Do You Cook Cocktail Sausages?
In the air fryer of course, just grab a bag of your favourite cocktail sausages from the freezer, throw them in the air fryer and hey presto, you have perfectly cooked pork cocktail sausages.
What About Quorn Cocktail Sausages?

Cocktail Sausages Air Fryer Ingredients
Cocktail Sausages – We find the Iceland cocktail sausages bags are quite small so did 2 bags of them. You can do as few cocktail sausages as you like. Though don’t go above our quantity as they will not cook well if overloaded.
Sticky – I also have with me some honey, mustard, garlic puree and Greek yoghurt if you want honey mustard cocktail sausages.
Sticks – Or if you would rather go 1970’s style get a can of pineapple and slice into chunks and also slice up some cheddar into chunks.
