Chicken Sausage

[DougE]

I guess you could call it a chicken parm sausage with my additions to this base recipe:

Homemade Chicken Sausage - Taste of Artisan

Exceptionally tasty, slightly sweet and tangy, homemade chicken sausage. Made of a perfect balance of chicken meats, herbs and seasonings.

tasteofartisan.com

To this recipe, I add 170g shredded parmesan cheese and 40 or so grams of finely chopped sun dried tomato.

5 lb. of deboned, skin on chicken thighs, skin and all for the fat content

Par frozen and run through an 8mm plate

Chilled down again and run through a 4.5mm plate

In goes the spice blend

Parm

Mixed up until really tacky

At this point I put it in the fridge over night to let the flavors meld.

For me, I would have just stuffed these in hog casings as a fresh sausage but made these for the wife and she does not like any casings on sausage.

Cellulose would have been the best choice but I had some 32mm collagen casings that I needed to waste, so that's what I went with.

Poached them naked in sous vide at 155° until the IT got there (the collagen get kind of mushy and sticky directly in the pot, but it works).

Peeled, packaged up and ready for the freezer.

I got these finished up last night and she had already eaten before she got home. I sampled the goods on her behalf, though, and yeah, quite tasty.

I think chicken sausages are either not thought of or underrated.

We love chicken sausage and make a few varieties. Chicken goes on sale and can get cheap real fast. So we use it.

Thanks, Keith. If you love eating sausage, there is nothing like making your own.

I agree. This is only the second time I have made chicken sausage. I did this recipe the first time as well. As good as it is, I will be making more of an attempt to add more chicken sausages to my rotation. I think maybe a lot take a pass on chicken since it does involve a little more prep work with the deboning.

Thanks, Keith. This one is a delicious one for sure.

Thanks, JLinza. They are delicious on their own and I already have some ideas for use in other dishes.

Looks great Doug, I have done a few of Victors recipes ( Taste of Artisan )
He has some good items. That is where I got my potato sausage recipe from.

I could see a few of those disappearing at meal time .

Victor (Taste of Artisan) is solid. He has some great recipes including this one.

I'm thinking as an addition to Fettuccini Alfredo, or even simmered in some marinara and served over spaghetti.

 

[indaswamp]

Yep.

 

[Nefarious]

I will make these for sure, I have a new found love for chicken sausage, white bean soup!

They'd pair nicely in white bean soup.

DE, Nice job on the chicken sausage, I agree with IDS about chicken being underrated in sausage making.
