Bake chicken sausage in the oven with our easy 20 minute recipe that are juicy, golden brown, and perfectly cooked. We show you how to roast precooked sausages on their own and also with potatoes and veggies. Either way, they're a whole lotta yum!
Baked chicken sausage is so good!
Dinner seriously can't get any easier than cooking precooked chicken sausages on a sheet pan. We literally eat these every week, sometimes they're cooked on their own to use in other meal prep recipes, or other times, we make a sheet pan dinner with potatoes and vegetables.
You can make a complete dinner on just a single sheet pan when you combine pre-cooked sausages with vegetables like potatoes, peppers, broccoli, and onions. This works great for baking brats or Italian sausages too.
If you add the veggies and potatoes to the pan, everything does take a bit longer to cook in the oven compared to baking sausages on their own.
Ingredient notes
- chicken sausage links - pre-cooked, we often use Adelle's chicken apple or Trader Joe's brand.
- red bell pepper - Feel free to swap green bell peppers, yellow, or orange.
- yellow onion - Sweet onion or red onion can also be used.
- broccoli florets - cut from a broccoli head or from a bag already pre-cut.
- potatoes - cut into ¾” chunks. We used Yukon Gold, but Russet and red potatoes would also be great
- olive oil - extra virgin
- fine sea salt - if you only have something like Morton's table salt, know it is about 25% saltier than sea salt.
- ground black pepper
How to bake chicken sausages
You can get the full recipe instructions down in the recipe card.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and make sure the oven rack is in the center position.
Cooking the sausage by itself - Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil. Spread the sausage out on the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they aren't browned and the internal temp is 165 F. Flip halfway through cooking.
Baked chicken sausage with vegetables
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Add the vegetables, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a medium-sized bowl. Spread the veggie mix onto a large sheet pan and bake everything for 20 minutes.
- Add the sausages to the pan and bake them for 10 more minutes. Flip the chicken and vegetables.
- Finish baking for 10-15 minutes until the sausages and vegetables are cooked through. Adjust seasonings to taste. Enjoy!
Great side dish options include coleslaw, potato wedges, peppers and onions, a simple side salad, or rolls.
Recipe notes
- If you have raw chicken sausage, cook them about 10+ minutes longer. Ideally, you should use a meat thermometer to make sure they're cooked through to 165 F.
- Leftovers will last in the fridge for up to 5 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Parchment paper can be added to the pan for easy clean-up.
- Feel free to change up the vegetables and use mushrooms, cauliflower, green beans, sweet potato cubes, or other vegetables your family prefers.
