Prep Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground chicken (pre-ground or use boneless skinless chicken thighs to ground yourself)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • 1/2 cup diced apples (we use pink lady)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider

Method
 

  1. If grinding chicken, chop the chicken into small pieces so it's easier to feed into your grinder. Chill chopped chicken in freezer for 2-3 minutes to cool down.
  2. Grind chicken according to your grinder's directions.
  3. Season in large bowl with salt, brown sugar, sage, diced apples, black pepper, cinnamon and apple cider. Mix well by hand.
  4. Put back in freezer for 2-3 minutes to cool down again.
  5. Grind chicken mixture again through your device.
  6. Again, put back in freezer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. You can either patty them up now to eat or if you'd like to make them into links, read the next step.
  8. Stuff the chicken using your casings and sausage stuffer.
  9. Then, twist and cut to about 2-3 inch sausages.
  10. Chill in the fridge until ready to cook.
  11. When ready, place sausages in pan and cook over low-medium heat for about 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  12. Enjoy with your favorite brunch items, for extra sweetness dip in maple syrup.
