Homemade Spicy Chicken Sausage Food

CHICKEN SAUSAGE RIGATONI IN A SPICY VODKA SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta. In a large saute pan over medium heat melt butter with oil. Add chicken sausage and brown, 3 to 4 minutes, breaking up large chunks with a wooden spoon. Add onions, jalapenos and garlic and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add green pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste, and cook 3 minutes more.
• Generously salt the pasta water and add the rigatoni. Cook until al dente, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add tomatoes to the sauce and bring to a simmer, for about 10 minutes. Add vodka and cream and cook a few minutes more. Toss in cheese and chopped parsley. To serve, drain the pasta well and add to the sauce. Mix until pasta is nicely coated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

SPICY SAUSAGE, CHICKEN AND BEAN POT

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat with extra-virgin olive oil. Crumble the Italian sausage into large pieces, add to Dutch oven and begin to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the andouille and crisp at edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove browned sausages to a paper towel lined plate and add chicken, season with salt and pepper. Lightly brown chicken a couple of minutes on each side then add veggies and bay leaf, add more salt and pepper and cook 7 to 8 minutes more to soften veggies. Add sausages back to the pan along with the beans and sage. Deglaze with wine and stir in the stock.
• Turn broiler on and set rack in the middle of the oven.
• Coarsely chop the bread in food processor into large crumbs, remove blade and toss with melted butter (it melts in 15 seconds in microwave) and the parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Cover the sausage and chicken with bread and set in oven to brown 2 to 3 minutes. Serve directly from the pot. Keep an eye out for that bay leaf and sprigs!

• 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.

HOT CHICKEN WITH SAUSAGES, TOMATOES & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat half the oil in a big shallow casserole dish in which the thighs can lie in a single layer - one 30cm across is ideal, if you use a bigger dish the sauce may evaporate. Quickly brown the chicken on both sides - you don't want to cook the chicken through, just get some colour on it - then remove from the pan. Do the same with the sausages in the remaining oil, colouring them all over. Cut the sausages on the diagonal into three or four pieces. Drain the peppers of their brine and cut into broad strips.
• Add the onions and tomatoes to the dish or roasting tin with the chilli, garlic, seasoning, sherry vinegar, rosemary and sausages. Heat the stock and add that too. Mix everything together. Arrange so that the chicken is on top. Bake in the oven for 30 mins, stirring the 'sauce' that forms around the vegetables halfway through.
• When 30 mins is up, add the peppers and cook for another 10 mins. The chicken should be cooked through with a thick sauce around it. Serve with rice pilaf, little potatoes that you've roasted in olive oil or mashed potato (mash or rice with a little saffron in it would be lovely).
