Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Breakfast Sausage
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried sage, dried thyme, and smoked paprika. Mix until thoroughly blended.
  2. Take a portion of the sausage mixture and roll it into balls, then press down to form ½-inch thick patties.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Allow the oil to shimmer.
  4. Carefully place the sausage patties into the hot skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Gently flip each patty and continue cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove the patties and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm.
