Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Anise seed, ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, ground black pepper, sweet paprika, dried oregano, ground anise seed, and cayenne pepper.
Step 2
Using clean hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate overnight.
Step 4
After marinating, shape the chicken mixture into small sausage patties or logs, approximately 3 inches long and 1 inch thick, using your hands.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken longanisa to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Cook the longanisa for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Serve hot with a side of scrambled eggs and garlic fried rice for a traditional Filipino breakfast.
