I needed some chicken sausage for a recipe. I didn't have any chicken sausage, but I did have ground chicken. In the past, when making pork of beef sausage, I've been fine just winging it, but I decided that I wanted some guidance for this one, so I Googled around and picked something that looked appealing.

I deviated from the recipe a fair bit, but that's okay -- I just wanted inspiration, not specific instructions.

Chicken Sausage

Adapted from Old World Garden Farms

Ingredients

• 450g ground chicken
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp. dried minced onion
• 1-2 tsp. chili powder
• 2-3 tsp. sweet paprika
• 1/2 tsp. ground cayenne (optional)
• 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds, ground
• 1/2 tsp. black peppercorns, ground
• 1 tsp. coarse sea salt
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients and mix well (preferably by hand).
2. Cover and chill until ready to use.
3. May need to add a little water if stuffing into sausage casings. I've never tried that, so I can't offer advice.
