Chicken Breakfast Sausage Patties
Description
Chicken Breakfast Sausage Patties feature ground chicken mixed with a carefully measured seasoning blend of fennel seeds, salt, black pepper, thyme, sage, and a hint of red pepper flakes for a gentle kick. Incorporating maple syrup adds a mild sweetness that balances the herbs and spices. The mixture is mashed together and shaped into 2 to 2 ½-inch patties or links, then cooked in a skillet with neutral oil over medium heat to develop a flavorful crust while keeping the interior moist.
The resulting patties offer a savory breakfast option that pairs well with eggs, toast, or breakfast bowls. The combination of aromatic spices and sweet maple syrup distinguishes these from typical pork sausage versions. This recipe allows for shaping versatility, letting cooks decide between patties or links based on preference or serving needs.
Leftovers keep well refrigerated for several days and freeze safely for months, making it easy to prepare ahead. For best results, reheat gently to maintain juiciness. The included seasoning blend can be halved or swapped with a store-bought mix if desired, providing flexibility in flavor intensity.
Ingredients
Breakfast Sausage Seasoning:*
- 2 tsp. fennel seeds
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ½ tsp. thyme dried
- ¼ tsp. sage ground
- ⅛ tsp. red pepper flakes optional
Chicken Breakfast Sausage:
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup honey or other sweetener
- 2 Tbsp. neutral cooking oil avocado or olive, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Breakfast Sausage Seasoning: Whisk together the breakfast sausage seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.
- Shape Sausage Patties: Add ground chicken to a large bowl along with the maple syrup and the sausage seasoning. Mash together with either a potato masher or by hand until everything is well mixed. Divide the mixture into four sections and create three patties from each section. The patties should end up being roughly 2 to 2 ½-inches wide and ½-inch thick.
- -OR- Make Links: Alternatively, you can shape the mixture into links that are roughly 1-inch round and 3 inches long.
- Cook Sausage in Skillet: Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to a large skillet over medium heat. You want just enough so that it completely coats the bottom. Wait for the oil to begin to sizzle and then place the sausage patties in a single layer, being careful that none of them touch. (Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook these in two batches.) Cook the sausage for 3 minutes per side, or until the edges become golden and the meat is cooked through and no longer pink.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 3-4 months.
Notes
- You may use half the homemade sausage seasoning or a store-bought blend to adjust flavor.
- Prepare the patties a day in advance and refrigerate overnight for convenience.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
- Once cooled, wrap patties tightly and freeze for up to 6 months; reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
