This is one of those that I've been meaning to try and never got around to it..............till yesterday. Made up a 5 lb batch using Texas-hunters (ken, from Smoked-meat.com) recipe and changed it some. I used some Spanish smoked paprika and doubled up the amount and for the hot pepper I used some Smittys pepper mix that I got from the Mad Hunky.com.
Other then that it's kens recipe and it's pretty tasty and hot.
I rarely do chicken sausage and never thought you could do it without added skin or fat, but he's right you don't need it.

Heres the recipe I used.

T-H's Chicken Hot Links

Skinless chicken thighs 5 lbs
Salt 32g
Red pepper flakes 10g
Chopped garlic 24g
Smoked paprika 20g
White pepper 12g
Smittys hot pepper mix 10g
Mustard seed 22g
Basil 5g
Water 4-5 oz

Grind near frozen chicken thru 1/8 plate.
Add spices to meat and mix until sticky.
Stuff into 29-32 hog casings

Thanks for checking them out

Any suggestions for a substitute for 'Smittys hot pepper mix'?

From the website;
"The famous Smitty's 2014 spice mix... plenty of heat, and a nice balance of Thai, Habanaro, Jalepeno and other peppers/spices combine to give a nice high heat AND flavor level"

I think it also has some Hungarian paprika too.. thats about all I can give ya Phil.

Yes John the recipe reflects the extra paprika. and the seeds were yello. Heck I didn't know there were black ones.
I upper the paprika mainly to add some more color to the links, and I figured a little more heat wouldn't hurt.

If you do make them I'd love to see what you do to tweek the recipe.

Hello Everyone
it's always nice and spirit refreshing to be around here !
I tried this recipe with a batch of 3 lb of grounded chicken but after i mixed everything and put the sausage in a bag to cure for 2 days, i looked to the cure box and OPS it was 3,9 gms of cure #2 instead of cure #1 :? :? :?
any suggestions will be appreciated !
Thanks

Have you got the correct thread? There's no cure in this recipe.

I followed the recipe on this thread adding the cure amount calculated for sausage using cure#1 from another thread . Shall I dump the meat because I mistakenly used Cure#2 or is there anyway around it ?

You can give the sausage three or four days in your fridge for the nitrite to react, then eat them as fresh sausages.

Warston,

Take Paul's advice. He's been more gracious than I would.

DO NOT take one recipe and mix it with another, add cure, and think that it's a good idea...

...I'll say again:

...DO NOT...

...you get the idea!

Thanks Paul ! Appreciate the suggestions. even if this sounds a stupid questions but : does eating them as a " fresh sausage " means something specific ? also , how many days do you think they will last in the fridge ?
Thanks again for the help
