Air Fryer Lil Smokies Recipe

So why should you cook your little smokies in the air fryer? Trust me, they will be the best Li’l Smokies you’ve ever had. The air fryer makes the outside casings get that snap while the insides stay juicy.

We are using a pan inside the air fryer so that we can add the bbq sauce and finish up the cooking. If you don’t have a pan that fits, you can completely cook the little smokies in the air fryer then transfer to a bowl with heated bbq sauce, toss and serve.
