Pre-cooked Chicken Sausage Links
What it is
These are pre-cooked chicken sausage links, ready to be heated and served. They are made from ground chicken and seasoned with a blend of spices. The sausage is typically encased in a natural or artificial casing. The pre-cooking process means they require less preparation time than raw sausages.
How people cook with it
These versatile sausages can be incorporated into a wide variety of dishes, from breakfast plates to hearty dinners.
- Breakfast scrambles
- Sheet pan dinners
- Pasta dishes
- Sandwiches
To prepare, you can pan-fry the sausage links over medium heat until they are browned and heated through. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven at around 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed. They are also excellent simmered in sauces or added to casseroles. Since they are already cooked, the focus is on heating and achieving a pleasant texture and color.
How it differs from similar foods
Chicken sausages are generally leaner than pork or beef sausages. They often have a milder flavor profile, allowing the added spices to stand out more. The texture can also be slightly different, sometimes firmer or more tender depending on the grind and casing.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused sausage links in an airtight container or the original packaging, tightly sealed, in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept cold to maintain freshness. Consume within a few days for best quality.
