Quick answer
For the fastest results, use the microwave. For a crispy outside, use an air fryer or oven. Each method takes just minutes and keeps the sausage juicy and the pancake tender.
Why cooking method matters
Jimmy Dean Original Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick combines a savory sausage link wrapped in a pancake batter covering. The goal is to heat the sausage through without drying it out while getting the pancake exterior warm and slightly crisp. The microwave is fastest but can make the pancake soft; the air fryer or oven adds crunch but takes a few extra minutes.
How to cook frozen Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick
- Microwave method (fastest): Remove one stick from the package. Place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on HIGH for 35-45 seconds. Let stand for 30 seconds before eating. Do not overcook — the pancake can become tough and the sausage may dry out.
- Air fryer method (crispiest): Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Place one frozen stick in the basket. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool for 1 minute before serving. Check at 6 minutes; air fryer power varies. Overcooking will harden the pancake coating.
- Oven method (best for multiple sticks): Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, turning once. Let rest for 1 minute. For even browning, do not overcrowd the baking sheet — leave at least 1 inch between sticks.
