Instructions: Grind the chicken and skins through a 1/4-inch plate, then grind the sun-dried tomatoes and onions. Mix all this into a large bowl along with the spices and salt, kneading and squeezing until all ingredients are well blended.

For links, stuff the meat into hog casings and twist or tie at desired intervals; or shape into patties. Will keep refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for 2 months.

When cooking a batch for a houseful of guests, the hosts at the Gaslight Inn bake the links on a cookie sheet, pricking the skins of the links and draining once or twice, until the sausage is cooked through. Alternatively, the sausage can be browned in a skillet.

Comments: This tender and savory sausage is a hit with guests as a treat for breakfast, hors doeuvres, or part of a bistro charcuterie plate. It is time-consuming and messy to make, so its best to do a big batch and freeze it to have it on hand.
