Ingredients (Serves 3):
- Chicken: 2.2 lbs (1 kg)
- Bacon: 3.5 oz (100 g)
- Salt: to taste
- Spices and Seasonings: to taste
- Vegetable Oil: 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
- Sausage Casings: 4.9-6.6 ft (1.5-2 meters)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Rinse and dry the chicken meat. Cut it into pieces small enough to fit through your meat grinder. Place the chicken in a bowl, season with salt and your choice of spices and seasonings.
Add the Bacon:
Cut the bacon into strips or cubes and add to the chicken. Mix well and let the mixture marinate under plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Grind the Meat:
Using a manual or electric meat grinder, grind the chicken and bacon mixture. Once ground, prepare your sausage stuffer attachment.
Stuff the Casings:
Fit the stuffer attachment to your grinder. Slide the casing onto the nozzle of the stuffer. Start filling the casing with the meat mixture, being careful not to overfill to avoid bursting. Tie off the casing with string at intervals to create individual sausages. If using 30mm diameter casings that do not require soaking, follow the instructions on the packaging for preparation.
Cook the Sausages:
Sausages can be cooked in various ways: pan-fried, baked, grilled, or even in an air fryer. Grease your cooking surface lightly with oil. Cook at 356°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden.
Serve:
Serve the sausages hot or warm, accompanied by mustard and ketchup, along with fresh vegetables and herbs if desired.
Enjoy your homemade chicken and bacon sausages as a hearty meal that brings the satisfaction of DIY to your dining table. Whether you’re hosting a barbecue or looking for a satisfying meal, these sausages offer a delightful taste and the joy of homemade goodness.
