One of our most beloved, and popular dishes is the
unremarkably named, “chicken, sausage, peppers, and potatoes,” which was sort
of the inspiration behind this sausage mushroom chicken video. Besides their
unimaginative names, what these recipes have in common is how they take
advantage of rendered sausage fat, and its proven ability to make everything it
touches taste meatier.

Cooking things in rendered bacon, or pancetta fat is fairly
common, but not so much when it comes to pork sausage, which is funny, since
not only are we getting that pork goodness, but we also get to utilize all the
herbs and spices used in the grind.

I went with a sweet Italian sausage, which paired perfectly
with the chicken, mushrooms, and wine-based pan sauce, but half the fun of a
“recipe” like this is choosing which variety to use, depending on which other ingredients
you plan on including. So, call that friend I was talking about in the video, and
no matter which way you guys decide to go, I really hope you give this, or
something like this a try soon. Enjoy!
