Chicken Sausage

[skflyfish]

Here is a recipe I found and tweaked for chicken sausage. I have made them from meat chickens (Hubbard White Mountain) and Buff Orpington roosters. I like the sausage from the meat birds a bit better.

2.25 to 2.5 lbs ground chicken
2/3 cup dried cranberries or dried cherries
1/3 cup dried parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
1 Tbsp. Kosher salt
2 teas. Ground Sage
1 teas. Thyme leaves
1 teas. Basil leaves
1 teas. Cayenne pepper
1 teas. ground pepper
1 teas. ground Ginger
1 clove garlic minced
1 Tbsp. real Maple Syrup

I ground the meat with the largest opening plate, added the listed ingredients, covered in plastic and let it sit in the frig overnight. The next morning I ground it again with the medium plate and then stuffed it in 1.25 in. casings.

Slow cooked on the grill. So much lighter than brats. Yum!

I forgot to mention that I ground the skin in too. A little more fat for basting.
