A flavorful recipe for homemade chicken andouille sausage, inspired by Cajun and Creole cooking, featuring a unique blend of spices and ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground chicken (I prefer using organic chicken for better flavor)
  • 1/2 pound chicken fat (this adds moisture; you can ask your butcher for it)
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika (this gives that signature smoky flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder (for a savory kick)
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder (adds depth to the flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground is best)
  • 1 tablespoon salt (I use kosher salt for its texture)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions (for a fresh, herby note)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, but it brightens the flavor)
  • 1/4 cup ice water (this helps with the mixing process)
  • Sausage casings (natural hog casings work well; soak them in water before use)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients and lay them out on the counter.
  2. Prepare the chicken by combining ground chicken and chicken fat.
  3. Mix the spices together in a large bowl before adding them to the chicken.
  4. Stuff the sausage casings with the mixture using a sausage stuffer or piping bag.
  5. Cook the sausages on medium heat until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Notes

  • Always choose fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Keep your chicken cold during preparation to maintain texture.
  • Let the sausages rest after cooking to redistribute juices.
