They love it so much that we sometimes eat it for dinner served with hot chocolate or cold juice depending on the weather. If it's hot, cold drink to the rescue, and if it's cold it's hot chocolate or coffee.

I mostly make it with shortcrust pastry but you can also use puff pastry. I'd like for you to try my shortcrust pastry for sausage rolls. It takes 5 minutes to put together, it's buttery and crumbly and you'll love it.

Using chicken for sausage rolls is good as chicken sausages are healthier than pork sausages and leaner than beef. They also remain moist during baking, unlike the others.

For this recipe, you can make big-sized or mini. This recipe makes 12 sausage rolls or 24 mini sausage rolls.

How to make Chicken sausage rolls

Make the sausage filling - Remove the sausages from their casing, add into a bowl, add in black pepper, chicken seasoning, and mix together till combined.

Some sausages are preseasoned so be careful not to oversalt.

Roll the pastry - place the puff or shortcrust pastry on a clean worktop, roll it out and cut into a long roll rectangular shape. 

Place the filling in a straight line on the pastry. Lightly brush one of the edges with the egg white or water, then seal shut. Use a fork to crimp the edges as shown below then cut into size. Repeat till pastry and filling used up.

Place on a baking paper/parchment paper lined baking tray. If making long rolls, make four small cuts on the top of the pastry, then brush with egg.

Bake - Bake the rolls in a preheated oven temperature of 400F/ 200C for 20-25 minutes or till done.

What to serve it with

It can be served at parties as appetizers, at tea time and it can be served with :

Drinks like lime juice, lemon juice, Iced coffe, Iced tea.

Dips - like ketchup, or hp sauce.

How to Store

Can I freeze sausage rolls? Yes, you can freeze pre-baked or after baking. If storing before you bake, don't brush with egg.

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge or in the freezer depending on how long you want to keep them stored. If you only need to preserve them for a couple of days, store them in the fridge where they will last for 3 days.

If you'd like to store them longer, store them in the freezer where they'll last up to 3 months.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer.

To reheat in the oven, put on a parchment paper-lined tray and bake at a temperature of 200C for 4minutes or until it's warmed through.

Tips
