Chicken And Apple Sausage

Recipe Instructions In a small nonreactive saucepan, boil down the cider almost to a syrup, about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Cool and reserve. If using chicken thighs, coarsely grind the boned chicken and skin or chop coarsely in batches in a food processor. Add the apple cider and the remaining ingredients to the ground chicken in a large bowl or plastic tub and blend thoroughly with your hands. Fry a small patty until done and taste for salt, pepper, and other seasonings. Divide sausage into 7 or 8 portions (each about 1/2 pound), wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate or freeze for later use. Or, if desired, stuff the sausage into casings. This recipe yields seven or eight 1/2-pound portions or about twenty 5-inch sausage links.
