Chickensausage Recipes

Steps:

• Combine apple, onion, garlic, tomato paste, sage, celery seed, anise seed, marjoram, allspice, salt, and pepper in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until softened and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Place chicken thighs in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. Process until ground. Transfer to a bowl. Fold in apple mixture.
• Scoop 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture with a large melon baller and form into a patty. Repeat with remaining chicken mixture.
• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook 4 patties until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a plate; wipe out skillet. Repeat with remaining patties.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until browned, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onions and fennel and stir to combine; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and fennel just begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Make a space in the center of the skillet and add the tomato paste. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste darkens slightly, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and stir everything together. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Return the sausage to the skillet along with the vinegar and honey. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid reduces to a glaze, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with fennel fronds.

Steps:

• Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add butter and melt. Add apples and onions and season with a little salt, pepper and fennel seeds. Gently saute the mixture 5 minutes to soften and remove from heat to cool.
• Heat a griddle pan or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place chicken in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, poultry seasoning, allspice, paprika and a healthy drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Add in the apples, onions and fennel and mix the sausage. Score meat into 4 sections and form 3 small, thin patties from each section, 2 1/2 inches across, 12 small patties total. Cook patties 3 to 4 minutes on each side and serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage until golden, about 2 minutes. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with the flour in a bowl; add to the skillet and cook until browned but not cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Add the onion, peppers, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste and cook 3 minutes. Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits; bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the sausage and chicken are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken, sausage and vegetables to a platter with a slotted spoon. Increase the heat to high and stir the parsley and cherry peppers and their liquid into the skillet; boil until reduced by one-third, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package directions until cooked but still firm to the bite (al dente). While the pasta is cooking, place the sausages in a small skillet over medium heat and add 1/4 cup water. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn sausages at 5 minutes and add more water if necessary.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and coloured pepper strips and sauté for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and rosemary, and season with black pepper to taste. Lower heat and cook for 5 minutes more.
• Remove sausages from small skillet and slice in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Add to the onions and peppers. Add balsamic vinegar and toss. Cook mixture until sausage is no longer pink in the middle. Serve over cooked pasta.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage links until browned and oil begins to render, about 3 minutes per side. While sausages are cooking, pierce them lightly here and there with the tip of a sharp knife so some fats and juices are released. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• When sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into serving pieces, about 2-inch slices. Transfer back to pan along with any accumulated juices from the cutting board.
• Cut two slashes down to the bone on the skin side of each chicken thigh.
• Depending on the size of the peppers, halve or quarter them and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced red and yellow onions and potato chunks. Add chicken thighs and sausage pieces with pan juices.
• Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.
• Mix with your hands until all ingredients are coated in oil, 3 or 4 minutes. Transfer to large, heavy-duty roasting pan. Evenly space the chicken thighs skin side up. Position potatoes near the top.
• Place in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and everything is caramelized, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with chopped fresh Italian parsley, if desired.

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet brown the sausage (apprx 8 minutes).
• Then remove onto a plate.
• Then put in chicken and cook for 5 minutes, turning once.
• Put on plate with sausage.
• Heat oil in the skillet and add the garlic and rosemary and saute for 1 minute.
• Then add potatoes and water and cover and cook for 15 minutes.
• Then push potatoes over to the side of skillet and add back in the chicken and sausage.
• Add in the salt, pepper, wine, vinegar, and red peppers.
• Cover and cook an additional 35 minutes, when chicken registers 170*.
• Take chicken and sausage back out onto plate, and cover.
• Cover skillet back up and cook potatoes, until they are tender (apprx 8 minutes).
• Pour over chicken.

Steps:

• Ideally, the chicken should be trussed, but it is not essential. Put the chicken in a kettle and add salt, broth, water, peppercorns, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a boil and cover closely. Let simmer 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel the turnips and cut them into rectangles measuring about 1 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Add them to the kettle. Add the onions, carrots and brussels sprouts. Cook 10 minutes.
• Add the sausage and scallions and cover. Let cook 5 minutes. Carve the meats and serve with vegetables and a little stock.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350°.
• In a 9x13-inch pan, place oil.
• Add potatoes rolling in oil to coat.
• Arrange chicken and sausage, rolling chicken to coat lightly.
• Pour the combined tomatoes and seasonings over all.
• Bake at 350° uncovered for 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Note: Stacking chicken on top of potatoes is fine.

Steps:

• 1. Combine all the ingredients except the wine in a large bowl and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes. Measure the wine and put that in the freezer too. If your grinder attachment is metal, freeze that as well, and also your mixing bowl. Set up your grinder, remove the chicken mixture from the freezer, and grind it through a small or medium die into the freezing-cold mixing bowl. Return the meat to the freezer for 10 minutes and set up your stand mixer.
• 2. Remove the sausage mixture from the freezer and mix it with the paddle attachment on medium high for 60 seconds or so, adding the very cold white wine as you do. Paddling will distribute the seasonings and give the sausage a good bind help hold together rather then crumble. In order to be sure the seasoning is right, fry a small portion of the sausage (put the mixing bowl in the fridge while you cook the test piece). Taste the test piece. If you think the mix needs more salt, pepper, sage or ginger add it and repaddle it. You can do this as often as you like till you get the seasoning just so.
• 3. Wrap the sausage in plastic wrap in the shape of a cylinder, about 2-1/2 inches/7.5 centimeters in diameter. Put the wrapped sausage in a plastic bag. It will last a good week in the fridge (thanks to the salt); it can be frozen for 3 months (the longer you freeze it, though, the more chance it has of getting freezer burn or picking up unpleasant freezer odors, so label the bag with the date and don't forget about it).

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown potatoes and sausage in oil if desired for 15-20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Add the chicken, peppers and onion; saute for 15 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add the beans, water, oregano, salt and pepper. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender and chicken juices run clear.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown all over, about 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a dish. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and add to pan, meaty side down. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 10 minutes, flipping once. Transfer chicken to dish with sausage.
• Add onion, potatoes, and celery to pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Return sausage and chicken, meaty side up, to pot and add 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Remove lid and increase heat to high; boil until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter. Add vinegar and oregano to vegetables and sausage and stir to combine. With slotted spoon, transfer vegetables and sausage to platter with chicken and top with celery leaves. Transfer sauce to a gravy boat and serve alongside chicken.

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tblsp of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or small dutch oven.
• Add the cubed chicken, sprinkled with Cajun seasoning, and brown it until almost cooked thru, then add sliced smoked sausage (its pre-cooked).
• Add the sliced onions, green bell peppers (I sometimes use a mix of green and red, depending what I have on hand), and celery (if using) and saute for 2 minutes.
• Add the rice, chicken broth, salt, cayenne pepper (and any additional Cajun seasoning to taste).
• Bring to a low boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and cover. (Extra broth may be needed toward the end of cooking).
• Simmer for approx 20 minutes, or until rice is tender.
• Stir once thru-out cooking time, but keep lid closed and make sure not to scorch the bottom).
• Check for done-ness by tasting it! If the rice is cooked and the chicken isn't pink on the inside, it's done.
• Sprinkle on a little fresh, chopped parsley and a pinch of "Gumbo File" after plating, (if desired). Serve and enjoy!
