Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, coconut aminos, erythritol, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper.
Using your hands or a wooden spatula, mix all the ingredients until they are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors meld together.
After marinating, form the chicken mixture into small sausages or log shapes, about 4 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken longanisa sausages to the skillet, being careful not to crowd the pan.
Cook the sausages for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked sausages to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil before serving.
Serve the keto chicken longanisa with your favorite keto-friendly side dishes, like cauliflower rice or a fresh garden salad.
