Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 40 grams brown sugar
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon annatto oil (optional for color)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, gluten-free soy sauce, white vinegar, and brown sugar.
Crush and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the chicken mixture.
Add salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and annatto oil (if using) to the mixture.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Ensure that the chicken is evenly coated with spices and seasonings.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor absorption.
After marinating, divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions.
Shape each portion into into small sausages about 4 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter.
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken longanisa sausages to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the sausages for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and fully cooked through.
Ensure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached to ensure food safety.
Once cooked, transfer the longanisa onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil before serving hot.
Serve the chicken longanisa with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal experience.
