Chicken Sausage Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, panko, egg, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. This combination ensures the patties are flavorful and hold together well.
Mix Gently: Mix everything together until just combined. Overmixing can make the texture tough, so stir lightly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Shape Patties: Shape the mixture into small patties about 2 to 3 inches wide, or form them into your preferred shape. This size allows for quick and even cooking.
Cook Patties: Cook the patties on the stovetop using a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Cook each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked and safe to eat. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side.

Notes

Do not overmix the sausage mixture to keep the patties tender.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness to avoid undercooking.
These sausages can be cooked in advance and reheated in the oven or microwave.
For gluten-free option, substitute panko with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness, but you can reduce or omit it if preferred.
