- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, fresh raspberries, panko breadcrumbs, minced shallots, garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, kosher salt, and black pepper. Make sure to mix them until they are fully combined, ensuring that each ingredient is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The raspberries will add a pop of color and sweetness, while the herbs infuse wonderful aromas.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about ¾-inch thick. This thickness is ideal for cooking through without drying out. You can adjust the size based on your preference, but keep in mind that even sizes will cook uniformly.
- Next, heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up until it shimmers, indicating it's hot enough for cooking. This step is crucial as it creates a nice crust on the patties.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet. You should hear a satisfying sizzle when they hit the pan. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. To ensure they are done, use a meat thermometer to check that they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- After cooking, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. This keeps them from becoming soggy and helps maintain their crispy texture.
- Serve the Homemade Chicken Sausage Patties warm, and enjoy their delightful flavors and textures with your favorite sides. You can also garnish them with additional herbs or serve them with a dip for a tasty snack!
