What it is
This is a fully cooked sausage made from chicken. It is seasoned with robust Italian herbs and spices, giving it a distinct and savory flavor profile.

How people cook with it
This sausage is a convenient and flavorful addition to many meals. It can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into more complex dishes.
- Added to pasta sauces
- Grilled for a quick meal
- Sliced into frittatas
- Served in sandwiches
To prepare, you can simply heat the sausage through. Pan-frying or grilling are excellent methods that allow the casing to crisp up nicely. You can also add it directly to simmering sauces, soups, or stews, where it will release its savory juices and infuse the liquid with flavor. If using in a dish that requires longer cooking, ensure it is heated thoroughly before serving. It can also be sliced and added to baked dishes or casseroles.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to pork-based Italian sausages, this chicken version offers a leaner profile. It still delivers a robust flavor from the Italian seasonings, but with a lighter taste. The texture is often slightly firmer than some pork sausages, providing a good bite.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused sausage in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality. Proper refrigeration is key to preserving its taste and texture.
