Notes

  • Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil, parchment paper or a silpat. These sausages love to leak and you don't want to be cleaning pans all evening.
  • These sausages often come with added flavors. You can even find flavors like cheddar.
  • Don't pierce the skin before baking. The good stuff will run out.
  • Lay the individual links so that air can circulate between them. Preheat the oven and put the sheet on the middle rack of the oven.
  • Invest in a good kitchen thermometer for recipes like this. You really want the internal temp to 160. Don't just dig in with a knife, the juices will run out.
  • You do not have to turn these half way through, but you can if you want.
