Chicken Sausage

Chicken sausage, a healthier substitute for traditional pork sausage, is often the subject of inquiries due to its versatility in cooking. Common misconceptions stem from how to cook chicken sausage correctly, whether it's already cooked, and the correct internal temperature. Getting the most out of chicken sausage involves understanding the type you have (pre-cooked or fresh) and then using the appropriate cooking method. Browning chicken sausage brings out its rich, savory flavors, and it can be incorporated in a variety of dishes from pasta to breakfast scrambles. One little known but useful tip is that you can freeze chicken sausage if you can't consume it right away, and then defrost and cook it as desired. Most people go wrong by not ensuring the sausage reaches the correct internal temperature, risking foodborne illness. Overcooking is another common mistake, resulting in a dried-out sausage. A great cooking hack is braising sausages in liquid, like beer or broth, before browning to ensure they're cooked through without becoming dry. To enhance its flavor, pair chicken sausage with ingredients that complement its seasoning.
