Need Opion what do you think Chicken Summer Sausage

[huntlakewood]

I was thinking of making some summer sausage out of chicken never heard of it before but I don't see why it won't be good.
I would like to know if anyone has made it and if it turned out.
I was going to get the seasoning from cabelas and add some bacon ends and pieces just like you would for beef.

Ive had chicken sausage but it was the expensive gormet stuff purchased from fred meyer. Wife went on a heart healthy kick. Its was terrible, the whole family thought it was bad. I dont think chicken has the right texture for sausage. It does make ok jerky.

Thank you for your reply.
Did you have Summer Sausage from Fred Meyers? Cause if so maybe I can go buy a piece and try it to see if I like it before I make it sounds like it is not worth making. I am tring different things out. I have made summer sauasage, Break fast sausage, Peperoni all from deer. Peperoni ( chicken and turkey) they were all pretty good.

chicken has very liuttle fat so would not be my first choice for sausage we make lots of duck/goose summer sausage and its really tasty...I have had rabbit pepperoni and jerky that was also good.....not sure on chicken....

Yeh I know I usally add bacon ends and pieces for the fat and also adds a little more flavor.
Never had Rabbit, Duck or goose before one day I will.

Chicken makes great sausages in the fresh sausages if I was going to try and use it in summer sausage i would use a binder such as soy or powdered milk because chicken will dry out to much and i think i would go 50/50 chicken/bacon ends good luck let us know how it turns out
