About Chicken longanisa

Chicken Longanisa is a savory and sweet Filipino sausage made from ground chicken, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and a blend of seasonings like paprika and pepper. A popular breakfast staple in Filipino cuisine, it is traditionally paired with rice, eggs, and fresh tomatoes for a hearty meal. Compared to pork-based longanisa, the chicken version is leaner and lower in saturated fat, making it a slightly healthier option for those mindful of fat intake. However, its flavor profile often relies on added sugar, which contributes to its sweetness but can impact caloric content. Store-bought varieties may also contain preservatives or nitrates, so choosing homemade or minimally processed options is advisable. Rich in protein, this dish offers energy and satiety but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet due to its sodium and sugar content.
