Equipment

  • Measuring cups
  • spoons
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Spatula
  • Grill Pan
  • Meat Thermometer
  • Plate or Serving Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 cloves garlic deftly minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1-2 fresh jalapeños finely diced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp black pepper ground
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients for a tidy and smooth cooking process.
  • Combine: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, diced jalapeños, minced garlic, and all spices. Mix thoroughly to distribute spices and flavors evenly.
  • Cook: Shape mixture into sausage links. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook a small amount in a pan, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cook sausages until browned and cooked through (5-7 mins per side). Ensure sausages reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve: Serve on buns or with your favorite side dishes along with ketchup and honey mustard sauce.

Notes

  • Use ground chicken that is at least 90% lean for the best results.
  • To make sure the sausages don’t stick to the skillet, make sure the oil is heated before adding them.
  • If you want a spicier dish, you can add more jalapeno peppers or adjust the amount of spices.
  • For a more flavorful dish, try adding a few tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs.If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
