Instructions Baked chickens:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
1. Preheat Oven:
2. **Prepare Sausage Mixture:**
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat with garlic, onion, parsley, sage, thyme, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well incorporated but do not overwork the mixture to avoid toughness.
3. **Shape the Sausages:**
Divide the mixture into 8-10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small sausage shape, about 3-4 inches long.
4. **Bake the Sausages:**
Arrange the sausages on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Brush them lightly with olive oil to prevent drying. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
5. **Optional Glaze:**
While the sausages bake, whisk together the maple syrup and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the glaze over the sausages for a sweet-savory finish.
6. Serve:
Arrange the sausages on a white serving plate for a clean, elegant Thanksgiving presentation. Garnish with fresh parsley or sprigs of thyme.
