In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, minced garlic, coconut aminos, coconut sugar, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, and paprika.
Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into small sausages or logs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the olive oil is heated, place the chicken longanisa sausages into the skillet.
Cook the sausages for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and have a nice brown crust.
Remove the sausages from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with a side of cauliflower rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete Whole30 meal.
