Homemade Spicy Chicken Sausage image

I was tired of the bland chicken/turkey sausage that I have been buying in the store. The ones that are theoretically 'good' are made with pork casings (intestines), and we do not eat pork. Here is a recipe that you can make at home, pat out into small patties, and cook for meals. I hope you enjoy it. My kids approve of this recipe.

Time 3h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds skin-on, boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
1 large onion, cut into chunks
1 green bell pepper, cored and sliced
2 jalapeno peppers, stemmed
6 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons sea salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried sage
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon hickory-smoked black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Set up the meat grinder for your stand mixer (such as KitchenAid®) with the coarse plate attached. Grind chicken thighs, onion, bell pepper, and jalapenos into a mixing bowl. Add maple syrup, salt, garlic, sage, onion powder, ginger, thyme, pepper, smoked pepper, and cayenne. Mix until well blended.
  • Re-grind the chicken mixture using the fine plate of the attachment.
  • Refrigerate sausage mixture until flavors combine, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop large spoonfuls of the sausage mixture into the skillet; flatten with the back of the spoon. Cook until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain sausage on paper towels.
  • Repeat with remaining oil and sausage until all sausage is cooked.
