Tips for Making Homemade Chicken Breakfast Sausage Patties
Since ground chicken (or turkey) is finely ground, it tends to stick to your hands a lot.
You can’t completely prevent this, but here are some tips from my testing to make it manageable:
- Don’t over-mix the chicken. You want to just get all of the ingredients incorporated into the chicken and then stop.
- You can mix the chicken with an oil covered wooden spoon or spatula to prevent sticking.
- Coat your hands in oil before mixing the chicken and forming the patties. Re-apply oil as needed.
- To help with #3, I like to keep a clean paper towel and jar of oil next to me when I’m forming the patties. That way, I can use the paper towel to pick up the jar and add more to my hands when needed without getting raw chicken everywhere.
We Love Chicken Breakfast Sausage for Meal Prep
This chicken breakfast sausage is great for meal prep! Here are some options to prep and store them:
- The patties can be cooked and frozen for 6 months. We recommend freezing the sausage in the portions you’ll want to eat. Just thaw, reheat and eat!
- You can prep the sausage with the seasoning mixture and freeze it to cook later. Either keep it as bulk sausage or form it into patties before freezing for speedy cooking after you defrost it!
- Simply cook the sausage over the weekend to use for breakfast or other meals during the week. Store in an airtight container for up to one week in the fridge.

Notes
This was sooooooo deliiiiiicious!! I’m never going back to buying breakfast sausage from the store. Ever!😁 You can even use it as a slider if you like 😄 i used half the salt and it was still tasty. I’m sharing this recipe with all of my friends. I made mine smaller so I was able to get 10 sausages. Thanks for the tip on using oil on the hands to mix the chicken & make the patties. It worked like a charm 😁 Thank you for sharing this delish recipe with us.
You’re very welcome!
Love the recipe. This my 3rd making these. Thank you
They came out great! My picky son even liked them. I cooked them in the air fryer. 375 for 15 min.
These are delicious and come together quickly! For reduced sodium diet used only 1/2 tsp salt and sprinkled in flaked red peppers for a little heat.
Thanks for trying our recipe! Glad you enjoyed it!
How many patties we are allowed and what can I take with them
If you’re asking about serving size, it’s one patty and only the patty.
This is a delicious recipe and super easy! I like freezing the patties so I can pull one out each morning.
Sounds perfect, that’s a great idea!
Definitely have to try! Do you know how long they last if you cook then freeze?
Approximately 3 months if airtight.
Excellent!! I didn’t have onion powder so used dehydrated minced onion and I used 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes instead of black pepper because we like hot breakfast sausage. It was a big hit and I will make it again.
Taste is just like sausage, delicious!
Glad you enjoyed it Jackie!
