Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken (preferably thigh meat for juiciness)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Mix the ingredients – In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
  2. Form the patties – Divide the mixture into small portions and shape into round, flat patties.
  3. Cook the sausage – Heat a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
  4. Serve and enjoy – Pair with eggs, toast, or breakfast bowls for a balanced meal.

Notes

  • For extra juiciness, use dark meat chicken instead of breast meat.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste – add maple syrup or honey for a hint of sweetness.
  • Store cooked patties in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for later use.
