Grilled chicken sausages are a summer favorite, but when infused with fresh herbs and grilled to golden perfection, they become the star of any meal. These Herb-Grilled Chicken Sausages are juicy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and bursting with aromatic flavor from herbs like parsley, chives, and garlic.
Whether you’re preparing a weekend barbecue spread or a quick protein-packed lunch, these sausages deliver a savory experience without the heaviness of red meat. Serve them with a simple salad, roasted potatoes, or in buns with spicy mustard for a complete and delicious dish.
Ingredients
4 chicken sausages (uncooked)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: Dijon mustard, grilled buns, or sautéed onions for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper to create an herb marinade.
Step 3: Pat the sausages dry, then brush them with the herb mixture on all sides.
Step 4: Place sausages on the grill. Cook for 5–7 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until grill marks appear and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 5: Let the sausages rest for 2–3 minutes, then serve as desired—on a plate, in a sandwich, or alongside grilled vegetables.
Notes
You can use any fresh herbs you prefer, including thyme, oregano, or basil. These sausages are ideal for meal prep and can also be pan-seared or air-fried if grilling isn’t an option. For extra flavor, drizzle with herb butter or serve with a honey mustard dipping sauce.
