Premio Chicken Sausage, 40 oz
What it is
This is a package of fully cooked chicken sausages, made from ground chicken. They are typically seasoned with a blend of spices to enhance their flavor. The sausages are pre-cooked, which means they are safe to eat right out of the package, though heating them is recommended for optimal taste and texture.
How people cook with it
Chicken sausages are versatile and can be incorporated into a wide variety of dishes, from quick weeknight dinners to more elaborate weekend brunches.
- Added to pasta dishes
- Served in sandwiches
- Included in breakfast scrambles
- Grilled for outdoor meals
To heat, you can pan-fry the sausages over medium heat until they are browned and heated through, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through. Grilling is another excellent option, providing a nice char and smoky flavor. They can also be added directly to simmering sauces or stews, where they will heat up as the dish cooks.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to pork sausages, chicken sausages tend to be leaner and have a lighter flavor profile. They absorb marinades and sauces well, making them adaptable to many different cuisines. The texture can also vary, with some being finely ground and others having a coarser grind.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the sausage in its original packaging or an airtight container. It should be kept cold and consumed within a few days of opening. For longer storage, the sausages can be frozen, which will help maintain their quality for several months.
