Dietz & Watson Apple Chicken Sausage
What it is
This is a pre-cooked sausage made from chicken and flavored with apple. It is typically found in the refrigerated section of a grocery store. The sausage is usually encased and comes in links. The apple adds a touch of sweetness and a distinct aroma to the savory chicken. It's a convenient option for quick meals and snacks.
How people cook with it
This sausage is versatile and can be incorporated into many dishes. It works well for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
- Sliced and added to pasta dishes
- Served in a bun with toppings
- Cooked with vegetables
- Added to scrambled eggs
To prepare, you can heat the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it is browned and heated through. This usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. You can also grill it, bake it in the oven, or add it directly to simmering sauces or stews. If you are adding it to a dish that cooks for a long time, it will absorb the flavors of the other ingredients. For a quicker meal, slice it and pan-fry it until crispy.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to pork sausages, chicken sausages are generally leaner. The addition of apple provides a subtle sweetness and a different flavor profile than traditional savory sausages. It offers a lighter taste that pairs well with a variety of other foods.
