Chicken sausage is a seasoned, cased meat made from ground chicken, usually formed into links. It browns well, cooks quickly, and stays moist with a gentle snap when seared; flavor ranges from mild garlic-herb to smoky. Common retail forms include fresh or fully cooked links and bulk meat, suited to pastas, stews, sheet pans, and breakfast skillets.\n\nModern poultry versions adapt European sausage-making to leaner meats, gaining wide popularity in North America in the late twentieth century. Styles echo Italian, German, and Cajun traditions, and makers typically use thigh meat with added fat and spices, sold fresh, smoked, or precooked.
