3. How to Make the Perfect One-Pan BBQ Sausage & Rice

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients and measure them out beforehand. Slicing the sausages and dicing the onion makes the cooking process smoother.

Step 2: Sauté the Sausages and Aromatics

Heat Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 or a good skillet with olive oil. Add sliced sausages and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant.

Step 3: Cook the Rice

Add the rice to the skillet, stirring to coat with the flavors. Pour in the chicken broth, barbecue sauce, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your easy one-pan dinner.
