CHICKEN SAUSAGE

CHICKEN SAUSAGE is the clean, everyday version of sausage for people who want poultry rather than pork. By our assessment, its strength is in the balance between familiar sausage shape and a lighter meat profile, so it works in breakfasts, sandwiches, and quick pan cooking. The Astrina catalogue files it under chicken sausages, which is exactly the ordinary supermarket category it belongs to. The trade-off is that chicken sausage often needs seasoning to keep from tasting flat, and the texture can be softer than a pork sausage with more fat. In practice it is a practical, sliceable sausage that browns easily and fits into simple meals without much ceremony. Compared with pork sausage it is usually leaner and milder; compared with fresh chicken, it gives the convenience of a stuffed, seasoned link. The 19663, 393147 and 4 fragments are part of the name, but the item itself is still a basic chicken sausage.
