Step Four – cook the chicken sausage rolls

Put the sausage rolls into the hot oven and bake for around 35-40 minutes or until the chicken sausage is heated through and cooked properly, the pastry is puffed and the cheese turning golden.

Once the Heck chicken sausage rolls are cooked through, remove them from the oven and place onto a rack to cool, this will stop the bottoms getting soggy as they cool.
