Chicken Parmesan Tomato Basil

[fagesbp]

Second time making this one. It came out very good but I think next time I'll put a little less black pepper and ginger, and a little more tomatoes. I made some dried tomatoes in the dehydrator then soaked them in olive oil for about a week.

The meat:
4 leg quarters and 4 BS breasts. I ground the skin and fat from the leg quarters with the meat.

The finished product. It turned out great but a little spicier than I intended. Not bad for me just not the flavor I was looking for.

Looks good from here 

  How was the moisture level?

 

[fagesbp]

We baked them to 180 IT and they were juicy. Not overly all running out, just right.

Good deal - chicken sausage isn't easy to get a nice moisture level. Job well done

I mainly did this 1 for my wife too. She was losing her enthusiasm for all the pork and beef sausages we were making.

Nothing wrong with a GOOD chicken sausage using fresh ingredients & seasoned the way YOU like 'em! These look great!

Many of the store-bought chicken sausages contribute to the 'bad' reputation of what chicken sausage can be.

Often they're too bland, dry, under-seasoned (or too salty), and have the rubbery consistency of a summertime garden hose...

One thing I've noticed making chicken sausages is smoking them can overpower the flavor if your not careful about the amount or smoke & duration.

Since the base flavor is milder than beef or pork or lamb, you really taste the spices! These can be easily masked if smoke is applied too heavily.

Thats why my preference is to initially poach them, then fry or grill them before serving.

you are 100% correct on that nasty stuff.

agreed, VERY easy to over smoke chicken.

I do the same thing, poach in turkey roaster. what we aren't using for dinner aare allowed to cool, then into the freezer.
