Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.1 Pounds Ground Chicken 17.6 oz
  • 1/2 Piece Onion about 4.23 oz, finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon Caraway Seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 30 ml
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Gather the ground chicken, finely diced onion, and seasonings so everything is ready before you begin. Having ingredients prepped keeps the process smooth.
  • Combine the ground chicken, onion, salt, pepper, caraway, thyme, garlic powder, and nutmeg in a bowl and mix until evenly seasoned throughout.
  • Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and shape into evenly sized patties for uniform cooking.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the patties for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked through, then serve or cool for later.

Notes

  • Use Cold Ingredients: Keep your ground chicken and mixing bowl chilled before forming the patties. This helps the sausage hold together and cook evenly without falling apart.
  • Season Evenly: Mix all spices, like sage, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper, thoroughly into the chicken. Even seasoning ensures each sausage patty has a consistent flavor.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Use a skillet over medium heat to cook the sausage patties slowly. This allows the sausage to brown nicely on the outside while staying juicy inside.
  • Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer or cut one patty open to ensure it’s fully cooked. Chicken sausage should reach an internal temperature of 165°Fareheit (73°Celsius) for safety.
