Chicken Apple Patties

The Chicken Apple Patties recipe blends savory and slightly sweet elements. Ground chicken serves as the protein base, while unsweetened applesauce adds natural sweetness and moisture. Fresh sage infuses the patties with an earthy, herbal flavor, complemented by the smoky depth of Redmond smoked salt. Bacon grease or tallow adds a rich, fatty element that enhances flavor and ensures the patties stay tender.
