Homemade Spicy Italian Sausage
This homemade spicy Italian sausage is seriously delicious, meal-prep friendly and incredibly easy to make too.
Ingredients
- 500 g ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds ground
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon onion flakes
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients.
- Mix well to ensure you get a uniform mixture. Set it aside for a few minutes.
- Heat oil in a pan and sauté the spiced chicken mince on medium heat until cooked through.
- Take it off heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or red pepper flakes and serve.
Notes
- The key to get that perfect golden brown color and texture is to avoid disturbing the meat too much while it is in the pan. Let it sit for a couple of minutes and let it brown up before you stir it.
- For best results, use a cast iron skillet or a stainless steel pan. More browning = more flavor.
- Start with a good quality olive oil or an infused oil (like habanero oil or rosemary infused oil) for additional flavor.
- Choose the fat percentage depending on your personal preference. Usually 80:20 is a good ratio to stick to.
