What it is
This is a pre-cooked chicken sausage made by Les Trois Petits Cochons Inc. It is crafted from finely ground chicken and seasoned with a blend of spices. The sausage is typically sold in a casing and is ready to be heated and served. It offers a lighter alternative to pork or beef sausages.
How people cook with it
This versatile sausage can be incorporated into a wide variety of dishes, adding flavor and substance.
- Breakfast scrambles
- Pasta dishes
- Sandwiches
- Appetizer platters
To prepare, you can simply heat the chicken sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it is warmed through and lightly browned. Alternatively, it can be added to simmering sauces, soups, or stews for a few minutes to absorb the flavors. It is also delicious grilled or roasted. Since it is already cooked, the goal is to heat it evenly and develop a pleasant texture and aroma. Avoid overcooking, which can make the sausage dry.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional pork sausages, this chicken sausage is typically leaner and has a milder flavor profile. The fine grind also gives it a smoother texture than some coarser, more rustic sausages. Its flavor is often more subtle, allowing other ingredients in a dish to shine.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused chicken sausage in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality. Ensure it is kept cold.
