Homemade Chicken Sausage

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
- 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion (or 1/4 teaspoon onion powder)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- Pinch (or more) of cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Put the ground meat into a mixing bowl. Add the spices and use your hands to incorporate the seasonings throughout the meat. Try not to squish the meat in your fists or it'll get mealy. Just gently use your fingers to toss it around.
- Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and cook the meat, breaking it up with a spatula until it's crumbly and coated with caramelized edges, about 20 minutes.
- Serve with your choice of breakfast goodies.
Notes
Instructions for making patties:
- Form the seasoned, raw meat into 12-14 1 1/2-2 inch patties and put them on a plate.
- Heat a skillet with enough oil (I use avocado oil) to lightly coat the pan. Make sure the pan is really hot before the patties go on.
- Cook half of the patties at a time, leaving them untouched for the first 2-3 minutes until a crust forms on the bottom. Flip and continue cooking them until they're cooked through and firm when you press the centers.
- Transfer to a plate and continue cooking the rest of the patties, adding a little more oil, if needed.
