Wholesome and delicious, these homemade mushroom, chive, and chicken sausage patties are the perfect alternative to the salty store-bought varieties. Easy to prepare and freezer friendly
Chicken Sausage Patties
These chicken sausage patties are a far cry from any sausages I ate growing up. I used to pop into the local chippie on the way home from school on a Friday, order a sausage for 50p, and head down to my granddad's to eat it.
It was the best.
A big greasy sausage, with some hot chips on the side.
Nowadays, now that I have more of an idea of what is actually in those sausages if you were to offer me something like that I would run the other way. Fast.
But the memories are awesome.
And I won't judge if that is still your guilty pleasure.
I promise 🙂
How To Make
There must be something inherent about kids loving sausages because even though we have bought them only a handful of times in the past few years, my kids are totally obsessed. Seriously, every time I ask what they want for dinner it is either sausages or pizza.
I am happy to report that they like these homemade chicken sausages just as much as the store-bought variety they seem to crave. There's significantly less salt in these, and you can control what goes in there - which is always a win in my book, especially when it comes to something like sausages.
I pump mine full of veggies, as we are always trying to reduce our meat consumption, but this is a totally versatile recipe - have fun with it! If you want to, you can always use an attachment and squeeze them into a sausage casing, but I haven't found one I am happy with yet, so we enjoy pattie shapes instead.
Storing and Freezing
I hope you love these little chicken sausages.
Leftovers should be allowed to cool completely and then stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
They also freeze really well, which makes them perfect for batch cooking. I tend to cook up a big batch, let them cool completely, and then pop them into the freezer for when the craving hits the kids, which makes them just as handy as store-bought.
They should last in the freezer for about 4 months.
Serving Suggestions
I usually serve mine with a nice helping of steamed veggies, or some sweet potato fries and tomato ketchup for dipping.
Why not try serving them with one of these sides for some extra veggies:
- Lemon and Garlic Air Fryer Broccoli
- Honey, Lemon, and Sea Salt Air Fryer Asparagus
- Garlic Pepper Skillet Green Beans
Happy eating.

Do you know if you can stuff this sausage recipe into a sausage casing? I'm trying to find a chicken sausage recipe that's a little different. This one fits the bill.
Donna1 says
Yes you can Mary! I have tried it, and it worked perfectly 🙂 I just didn't post it here as it is an extra step I know most people wouldn't want to take! Good luck
Renee says
These look delicious! Do you think they would still come together okay if I omit the mushrooms? I'm allergic, but I love that your version doesn't seem to be overwhelmed with too many ingredients.
Donna1 says
Oh yes definitely Renee, I have made them with and without mushrooms, and they come together just fine! I am just a huge fan of mushrooms, and sneak them in at every chance 🙂
Kathi @ LaughingSpatula says
Super clever recipe. Process your own chicken thighs! These sound really good and really fresh! Pinned to recipes to try!
Donna1 says
Oh thanks Kathi! Sometimes you have to get clever with kids around 🙂 Hope you love them
Catherine Davis says
I'm gonna have to find the time to make these for my mom. She's a huge mushroom lover and no one else here likes them.
Donna1 says
Oh I bet even the non-mushroom lovers would go for these (if you forget to mention the mushrooms are hiding in there 🙂 ). My 3yo get squeamish every time I mention mushrooms, but she goes crazy for these sausages!
