Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sage, ground
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your ground chicken is thawed if it was frozen. Mince the garlic and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, ground sage, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and honey.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the sausage tough.
- For best results, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together.
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Use a spoon to form small patties or links from the sausage mixture and place them on the skillet or grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, serve your chicken sausage hot with your favorite sides or incorporate it into other dishes like pasta, salads, or sandwiches.
