    Do a lot of chicken. Just once thru the fine plate. I alway use sure. gel with any chicken sausage, make sure you mix well for good extraction. Also I use about 20% more seasoning than forPork. My sticks and sausage always turn out fine. I like than as well if not more than the pork.

            Good to know. Made some chicken sausage and was not happy with the texture. I did the coarse and fine and next time I will be doing the fine plate only and see.

              Best to use just chicken skin for fat or ok to add a little pork fat? Haven’t tried with sure-gel yet but will on next batch.

                In a previous life we only used the skin for fat, but I cannot say whether pork fat would work or not hopefully someone has experimented with that and will let you know.

                  @bmartin1000 I prefer the skin on and chicken fat, better flavor.

                    If you won’t offend anyone pork fat of about 15-20% works best with the chicken. I have used only skin and what little fat on chicken for A friend that does not eat pork, came out ok A little less flavor better with the pork fat.

                      Hello, all. I previously made English Banger Sausages with pork. I ground the meat once on coarse and once with a fine plate. Came out just the way I remember it.

                      I tried the same recipe with Chicken and found that once through the coarse plate was finer than with pork but not quite fine enough for me.

                      My question is: For chicken, how would you recommend proceeding?

                      • Grind twice with a coarse plate?
                      • Grind once on coarse and once with a fine plate?
                      • Grind once only using fine plate?

                      Many thanks in advance!

                      sk5223 Hopefully johnsbrewhouse can help you before too long. I keep thinking he has worked with chicken quite a bit, but I could be mistaken. If not I know Jonathon can get the job done.
