Chicken Sausage From Scratch Food

CHICKEN SAUSAGE FROM SCRATCH

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.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN HOMEMADE CHICKEN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Start by preparing the casings. For natural casings, soak in a clear, warm water for at least an hour. This should make the casing more pliable.
• Cut all the chicken meat into small pieces, or about an inch in size. Cut the chicken including the skin. Then pass the meat through the disk of the meat grinder.
• Add all the spices to the chicken broth. Mix them well.
• Add the broth and spice combination to the ground meat. Mix it by hand.
• Grind the meat again but this time using the fine plate.
• Stuff the meat into the natural casings. It's really up to you which type of casing you would use. But if you're a beginner, I would suggest you use smaller casings as these can be easier to deal with.
• Attach the sausage stuffer tube to the funnel of the meat grinder. Gather one end of the casing into the nozzle of the sausage stuffer. Make sure that the casing is not twisted.
• Switch on the sausage stuffer. Use low speed until you get used to it.
• Knot the other end of the casing tightly once there is about 2 inches left dangling.
• Tip: Fill the casing with enough meat so that you won't end up with loose sausage links. You should also prick the casing to remove the air.
• Refrigerate the sausage links. Ideally, you should be consuming them within 3 days. But if you plan to use them beyond that period, freeze the sausage. The food should be safe to consume for up to four months.
