Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (coconut or avocado)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, coconut aminos, coconut sugar, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 2

Add minced garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the bowl.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the ground chicken.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5

After marinating, form the chicken mixture into small sausage links or patties, about 2-3 inches long and 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken longanisa to the skillet.

Step 8

Cook the sausages for about 10 minutes on each side or until they are deeply browned and cooked through.

Step 9

If any excess liquid forms in the pan, allow it to evaporate, enabling the sausages to develop a nice caramelization.

Step 10

Once fully cooked, remove from heat and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the Paleo Chicken Longanisa warm, alongside your favorite Paleo-friendly sides such as cauliflower rice or sautéed vegetables.
