Homemade Chicken and Apple Smoked Sausages image

Making your own homemade sausage is easier than you think! I actually prefer skinless sausages - I don't care much for the texture of the casing when I'm eating it. I chose corn husks - they make for a pretty presentation. You can use aluminum foil until they are almost done, then unwrap and continue to cook on the smoker to...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb boneless, skinless, chicken breast
1/2 c finely grated apple with juice, i chose cameo
2 Tbsp finely grated onion with juice, i chose a white onion
2 large large cloves grated garlic with juice - i used a microplane for the this task
1/4 tsp finely minced fresh rosemary
1/8 tsp ground sage
1/4 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper, i used about 3/4 tsp - i like peppery sausage
4 Tbsp butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • 1. When I make these, I'm usually smoking other meats. These don't take very long compared to say a brisket. One or two links usually end up being lunch while we wait for whatever we are smoking for dinner.
  • 2. In a large bowl soak 15 pieces of corn husk in warm water. If using aluminum foil - tear off 4 pieces.
  • 3. In a large bowl finely grate your apple, and onion. I use a cheese grater. Grate your garlic cloves. I use a microplane.
  • 4. In your food processor, add chicken breast, cut into pieces and pulse until fine.
  • 5. Add onion mixture, spices and butter.
  • 6. Pulse until well combined.
  • 7. Refrigerate for about an hour.
  • 8. Tear strips of corn husk off to use to tie the ends of the sausages off. I generally tear 3 per sausage.
  • 9. Remove sausage meat from fridge. Place 1/4 of mixture on corn husk (or foil as shown). Shape into a "log".
  • 10. Wrap husk around sausage and tie ends as shown. Sometimes I tuck ends under if I'm serving them in the husk.
  • 11. Put on smoker and cook for 30 minutes.
  • 12. Flip and cook another 30 minutes.
  • 13. At this point you can remove sausage and add more smoke flavor if you wish by placing directly on grill.
  • 14. Allow to cool slightly before slicing. These are wonderful sliced and sauteed in olive oil - it adds a nice crispy texture around the edges. Enjoy!

These sausages were a bit too salty for my taste.

I love the flavor of these sausages, but they were a little dry. I think I'll try adding some more liquid to the mixture next time.

These sausages took a little longer to cook than the recipe said, but they were worth the wait. They were so delicious!

I had some trouble getting the sausage mixture to stick together. I ended up adding an extra egg to the mix and that helped.

These sausages were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I'm not a big fan of chicken sausage, but these were really good. The apple flavor really shines through.

I made these sausages in my air fryer and they turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

These sausages are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped bacon to the mix, which gave them an extra smoky flavor.

The chicken and apple flavors in these sausages are a perfect match. I love serving them with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.
