Snake Bitten Chicken Monterey Sausage at Last!


Last night I pulled 5 lbs of skinless, boneless, thighs from the deep freeze for SBC sausage. I had been promising this experiment for some time and finally got it done.
The flavor profile was built on my SBC rub and the results were good but mild for my taste. The recipe below is the modified version I would use next time. This version was made fresh with no cure. Next batch I may remove the salt from the SBC rub and do cured SBCM sausage.

Seasoning mixed with EVOO night before to meld:

The modified recipe is below. Overall the original recipe was good but mild.
Snake Bitten Chicken Sausage Monterey

5 lbs chicken meat (dark meat)
8 tsp ShooterRicks Snake Bitten Chicken Rub
1 1/2 tsp. caraway seeds, crushed
2 tsp. dried marjoram
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (high heat cheese if available)
1 cup chicken broth chilled
¼ cup evoo

Prepare the casings and grind the meat through a large disk. Mix the remaining ingredients with the meat. Chill the mixture for thirty minutes in the refrigerator. Grind through a small disk and stuff into casings. Refrigerate for up to two days or freeze.

The flavor profile reminds me more of a breakfast sausage than anything.

Nice lookin & sound's good! Nearly out in the freezer....may try this! :thumb:

Yet another chicken recipe that looks good :-)

So where's the snake bite rub recipe ?

Shoould be here. I will check and post if not.

Those sausages are some good looking grub, I will have to give this one a shot. Nice :thumb:

Looks good, I had a feeling you were gonna do SBC. The cheese is an interesting addition. Were you looking for more heat?

Just overall more intense flavor. The seasoning was on the mild side at the original ratios.

Outstanding! :thumb:
