Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 patties
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean, flat surface. This includes 1 pound of ground chicken, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of dried sage, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (if using).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the garlic powder, onion powder, dried sage, dried thyme, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly distributed throughout the chicken.
- Once the mixture is well combined, divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Make sure the patties are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 1-2 minutes until it shimmers but does not smoke.
- Carefully place the chicken sausage patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
- Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on one side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the chicken sausage patties warm, either on their own or as part of a breakfast sandwich, with eggs, or alongside your favorite breakfast sides.

Tips
- Keep your hands slightly damp when forming patties to prevent the chicken mixture from sticking to your fingers.
- For extra flavor, consider toasting your dried herbs briefly in a dry skillet before mixing them into the chicken to enhance their aromatic qualities.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety without overcooking.
- If you prefer a crispier exterior, you can dust the patties lightly with almond flour or breadcrumbs before cooking.
- These patties freeze beautifully! Make a double batch and freeze between parchment paper for quick weekday breakfasts.
- For a leaner cooking method, you can also bake these patties in a preheated 375°F oven for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
