What it is
These are pre-cooked, mild-flavored sausages made from chicken. They are typically packed in a brine or broth, which helps to preserve them and adds a subtle savory note. The sausages are small and cylindrical, making them easy to handle and incorporate into various dishes.
How people cook with it
Chicken Vienna sausages are a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways, from quick snacks to more involved meal preparations.
- Added to soups
- Sliced into casseroles
- Served as a side dish

To prepare, simply open the can and drain the liquid. The sausages are already fully cooked, so they can be eaten cold directly from the can, making them ideal for a quick snack or addition to a lunchbox. For a warm dish, they can be heated through in a skillet, added to simmering sauces, or baked into casseroles. They absorb flavors well, so they pair nicely with a variety of seasonings and other ingredients.
