Homemade Chicken Sausage

Remove bones from chicken thighs and cut meat and skin into 2-inch strips. Combine chicken, peppers, basil, salt and pepper and run the mix through a meat grinder.

Place ground meat mix into the freezer for 15 minutes to chill.

Fry a tablespoon of the meat mixture in a skillet and taste. Adjust seasoning in the batch of sausage if needed.

Stuff sausage into collagen casings and tie links off with twine.

Grill sausages with indirect heat (or bake in a 300ºF oven) for about 20 minutes until an internal temperature of 165ºF is reached.
