Step 1

Open the package of lit’l smokies sausages and pat each piece dry with a paper towel. Set them aside. Next, lay the bacon strips, cut them in half, then wrap each sausage with the cut bacon strip. Repeat these steps until you wrap all the sausages. Once done, place each lil smokie, folded part facing down, in the greased air fryer basket.
