Roasted Garlic Chicken Sausage
What it is
This is a pre-cooked sausage made from ground chicken, seasoned with roasted garlic and other spices. It is typically sold in a refrigerated package. The roasting process of the garlic before it is added to the sausage imparts a deep, mellow garlic flavor that is less sharp than raw garlic. The chicken provides a lighter meat base compared to pork or beef sausages.
How people cook with it
This versatile sausage can be a convenient addition to many meals. It is already cooked, making preparation quick and easy.
- Added to pasta dishes
- Sliced into omelets
- Served on a bun
- Included in sheet pan meals
Since the sausage is fully cooked, you can simply heat it through before serving. It can be pan-fried, grilled, or baked. For pan-frying, slice the sausage and cook in a skillet over medium heat until browned and heated through. If grilling, place whole or sliced sausage on the grill and cook until warmed and slightly charred. When baking, you can add it to casseroles or roast it alongside vegetables.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to raw chicken sausage, this product is already cooked, saving preparation time. The roasted garlic offers a distinctively sweeter and milder garlic taste than raw garlic, which can be more pungent. Its chicken base makes it a lighter option than pork-based sausages.
