This Chicken Longganisa Recipe is your go-to for a flavorful, juicy, and healthier version of the classic Filipino sausage! Packed with garlicky goodness, a hint of sweetness, and savory spices, it's easy to make and perfect for any breakfast or brunch spread.
Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, brown sugar, minced garlic, paprika, oyster sauce, salt, pepper, vinegar, and cornstarch. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
1 pound Ground Chicken, ½ cup Brown Sugar, 1 head Garlic, 1 teaspoon Paprika, 1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce, 1 teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Pepper, 1 tablespoon Vinegar, 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
Shape the Sausages: Place a sheet of plastic or cling wrap on your work surface, then scoop a portion of the mixture onto it. Wrap the sausage by rolling the plastic wrap around it. You can use a spoon or your hands for shaping, and if you want uniform sizes, an ice cream scoop works great!
Chill: Place the sausages on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Cook: Heat a bit of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
2 tablespoon oil
Serve: Enjoy your homemade chicken longganisa with garlic fried rice and a fried egg for the ultimate longsilog experience!
Notes
Use an ice cream scooper to ensure your longganisa sausages are the same size, making cooking even and presentation perfect.
Always chill the sausage mixture before cooking to help the sausages hold their shape.
Cook the longganisa over medium heat to avoid burning the sugar and ensure even browning.
Make a big batch and freeze extras for quick, easy meals later.
