We love eating pastry but these homemade sausage rolls are a family favorite. I can never make enough of it for the family. Nothing excites them more than the smell of freshly baked chicken sausage rolls.

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. 

Chicken Sausage Rolls

This chicken sausage rolls recipe is made from scratch. It’s easy, simple, and quick. The pastry is buttery and crumbly, the sausage meat juicy, and delicious. It’s so good and every mouthful is a pleasure.

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.

Are sausage rolls the same as pigs in a blanket? 

No, they are not the same. American Pigs in a blanket is made with frankfurters and wrapped in crescent roll dough. Pigs in blanket in UK are small sausages wrapped in bacon.
