Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound ground chicken
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Cooking Ingredient:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Grab your ground chicken in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the 1 teaspoon sage, 1 teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon oregano, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon paprika over the meat.
- Use your hands to massage the spices thoroughly into the chicken until every morsel is perfectly seasoned and the mixture looks uniform.
- Divide the seasoned chicken into 8 equal portions on your work surface, using gentle hands to shape each section into a 2-inch round patty approximately ½ inch thick.
- Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large skillet and heat over medium temperature until the oil shimmers and looks slightly rippled.
- Carefully place the chicken patties into the hot skillet, leaving a small gap between each one to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the patties for precisely 4-5 minutes on the first side, watching for a golden-brown crust to develop.
- Flip each patty and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches exactly 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Transfer the cooked sausage patties onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Handling raw chicken requires careful attention to prevent cross-contamination, so wash hands and surfaces thoroughly after preparing the sausage patties.
- Freezing the raw patties between sheets of parchment paper allows easy separation and quick cooking for future breakfasts.
- Using a meat thermometer guarantees perfectly cooked sausages without drying out the lean ground chicken.
- Experiment with additional herbs like thyme or red pepper flakes to customize the flavor profile to your taste preferences.
