Simple Truth Chorizo Style Chicken Sausage
What it is
This is a fully cooked chicken sausage seasoned in the style of traditional chorizo. It offers a savory and slightly spicy flavor profile that is characteristic of Mexican chorizo but made with chicken. The sausage is typically ground and formed into links, ready for easy preparation. Its convenience makes it a popular choice for quick meals and flavorful additions to various dishes.
How people cook with it
This versatile sausage can be a star ingredient or a flavorful enhancer in many meals.
- Added to scrambled eggs or omelets
- Incorporated into pasta sauces
- Used in hearty soups and stews
- Served on a bun with toppings
To prepare, simply remove the sausage from its packaging. It can be heated through in a skillet over medium heat, allowing the casing to crisp slightly and the internal temperature to reach a safe level. Alternatively, it can be added directly to simmering dishes like chili, pasta sauces, or casseroles, where it will release its savory flavors as it cooks. For a quick meal, slice and brown it in a pan before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional pork chorizo, this chicken version offers a leaner option with a similar spicy and smoky flavor. It typically has a finer grind than some pork chorizos, which can affect its texture when cooked.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the sausage. Ensure it is tightly wrapped or stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness. It is best to consume the remaining sausage within a few days of opening the original package.
