To prepare, simply heat the pre-cooked chicken sausage links. You can pan-fry them over medium heat until 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 10-12 minutes, or until warmed. Microwaving is also an option for a very quick meal, following package directions. They can be served whole or sliced into smaller pieces for various culinary applications.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to raw sausages, these are pre-cooked, significantly reducing preparation time. Chicken sausages generally have a milder flavor than pork sausages and can be less fatty. The casing may also differ, affecting the 'snap' when bitten.

After opening, store any unused chicken sausage links in an airtight container or their original packaging in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept cold to maintain freshness. Consume within 3-5 days for optimal quality and safety.
