Looking for a lighter option to the classic Sausage roll? Try these chicken sausage rolls. They are similar to classic sausage rolls but are made with chicken instead of pork. I used ground chicken, spices, and a package of puff pastry. Then, I made a delicious honey mustard dipping sauce that was perfect pairing. This recipe is great for holiday get togethers or anytime you have a craving for a sausage roll.

Homemade Chicken Sausage Rolls

Sausage rolls are a British snack that is made from seasoned ground pork and puff pastry. You season the ground pork with onions and spices, and then you fill puff pastry with the pork mixture, roll it up, cut it into individual rolls, give it an egg wash, and then bake them. For this recipe I used ground chicken and it was still so delicious. The trick to making your chicken sausage rolls juicy and flavorful is to not skimp out on seasoning. And do not overcook them.

Ever since I learned about sausage rolls, I was on a mission to try it. It seemed like the British version of “pigs in a blanket” but better! Flaky puff pastry wrapped around juicy meat! How could it be bad? The flavor is unreal! If you think pigs and blankets are good, you will love this!

Puff Pastry Chicken Sausage Rolls

I have been absolutely crazy about sausage rolls the past couple of years. I like making them a little smaller than the normal British size so that they are more of an appetizer. Every time I have made these, my friends and family have loved them and have asked me to make them again and again. Here is my recipe for pork and apple sausage rolls that started my love for them. I also have a recipe for Breakfast Sausage Rolls, which are also delicious!

You can make sausage rolls using crescent dough, but traditional sausage rolls are made with puff pastry. You fill the puff pastry with raw meat, roll up the dough into a log, and then cut them. Normally sausage rolls are made with pork, but in this recipe I am using chicken. Some people don’t eat pork, so having a chicken sausage roll option is useful. Also, chicken is a lighter food option than pork.

These sausage rolls have everything. They are savory, juicy, crunchy, and delicious. When I was testing this recipe, I made these at my parents house so they got to try them. They could not stop eating them – seriously they are a little addicting. Something like this is perfect to make if you have a group of people coming over who like to eat.

Chicken Sausage Rolls made with Ground Chicken, Spices, and Puff Pastry

What do you need to make Sausage Rolls with Ground Chicken?

Puff Pastry – I used store bought puff pastry. Each box comes with two sheets of puff pastry. You will be cutting each sheet in half, to make four pieces. And then each piece will make 4 sausage rolls, for a total of 16 sausage rolls.

Ground Chicken – I used the raw ground chicken from the grocery store.
Onion Flakes and Garlic – Make sure you do not skimp out on these. Chicken needs a lot of flavor.
Ketchup – Adds wonderful flavor
Better than Bouillon – Adds a wonderful savoriness to the sausage rolls.
Egg – This creates an egg wash on top of the puff pastry to create a shininess when baking.
Sesame Seeds – Optional, but I love them on my sausage rolls.
