Here is his recipe for Chiggin Hot Links

http://smoked-meat.com/recipebox/rec...cken-hot-links

Ingredients

5 Pounds Ground Thigh Meat
2 TBS + 1.5 tsp Salt
4 tsp Basil
2 TBS + 1.5 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
2 TBS Fresh Fine chopped Garlic
2 TBS + 1.5 tsp Paprika
2 TBS + 1.5 tsp White Pepper
3 TBS Hot Pepper
2 TBS + 1.5 tsp Mustard Seeds

Directions

Dissolve the salt with the garlic in 1oz water per pound of meat.. Let the salt dissolve, then add all other ingredients. Mix with ground meat well,

Pipe into 28 - 32mm Sheep's casings. You may use hog casings but the sheep casing really help make this a great sausage, light and great snap without a tough chewy casing that you can get from a hog casing.

Thanks Mark.What i have at the moment is about 1kg of beef and probably the same of cubed pork shoulder and maybe 1/4kg of brisket fat trim.Im kinda looking for a real simple texas style recipe, heavy on the pepper with just a few ingredients and let the meat shine.I will give that chicken hot link a try if i ever see chicken thighs on sale.

Hey Ronan, sorry for the delay.. Yes Rich called, it has been crazy busy and I just do not have the time to poke my head in during working hours anymore..

With that said, looking at your post here you are looking for more of a traditional Texas Hotlink recipe.. Hot Guts and old school Elgin hotlinks are 100% beef.. I have had there sausage and it is good, I have not tried to copycat the recipe but I do have a few that might tingle your taste buds..

Let me know how you would like to go.. Old school or traditional mild or SPICY... I am Here to help..


PS.. The chicken hotlinks are really F'ing good.. Just sayin..

Think the best place would be to start with an old skool recipe.Thanks ever so much

So Ken, do you use the same spice mix for chicken and pork links?

[Texas-Hunter]

No, what I gave Ronan is a basic hot gut recipe that is like the Southside Market type links he was looking for. It does have some of the same ingredients but in different measurements. I have been waiting to get his feedback and what adjustments he would make if any..

If you will hit the link below to an earlier post, and scroll down about 2 or 3 posts you will find the recipe for Big Wheels Hot Links. These are spicy, but damn they are good!!

Sorry has been a while since i was on.I did the plain Elgin style sausage and for the life of me i cant find the photos.They were very nice but please forgive me Texas hunter as i cheated a wee bit,my beef wasnt as fatty as i would like and i did add pork back fat.
Sorry have been crazy busy and i have been back home twice to Ireland since i posted this and i have been working a lot of overtime to pay for 2 trans Atlantic vacations.
