In this recipe, we will be creating homemade chicken sausage patties infused with the aromatic flavors of fennel and chives. These patties are not only delicious but also a healthier alternative to store-bought options, as they are made with lean chicken thighs and a mix of natural herbs and spices.
Instructions:
- Heat the flaxseed oil and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and fennel seeds, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped or ground chicken thighs with the cooked onion mixture.
- Add the vinegar, finely chopped chives, paprika, sugar, and ground nutmeg to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Form the mixture into small, even-sized patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should get around 8-10 patties depending on the size.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. If needed, you can lightly grease the pan with a bit of olive oil.
- Place the chicken patties in the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the patties are browned and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Serve the homemade chicken sausage patties hot. They make a perfect addition to breakfast plates, sandwiches, or salads.
Tips:
- Ensure that the chicken thighs are well-chilled before grinding as it helps achieve a better texture for the sausage patties.
- Toast the fennel seeds before adding them to the mixture to enhance their flavor.
- If you don’t have a meat grinder, you can use a food processor to mince the chicken thighs.
- Let the patties rest for 10 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Cook the patties over medium heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning the outside.
