Look, we’re not here to debate whether a hot dog is a sandwich (it’s not) or whether having a hinged bun puts you in a different culinary category (it does). What we are here to declare is that a sausage’s carb options don’t start and end with a bun.
Sausage sandwiches aren’t limited to cured meats, either. Our chicken sausage is designed to go anywhere roasted chicken goes—and roasted chicken goes great on a sandwich.
So, in honor of National Sandwich Day (one of our top five food holidays, if we're being honest), dig into one of these chicken-sausage sandwich ideas. No forks. No plates. Just pure sausage bliss.
Sausage and Peppers Sandwich with Spicy Mustard
Sometimes you just need that classic grilled sausage-and-peppers moment—whether you’re poolside, at a backyard BBQ, or chasing a midnight craving.
Our quick and easy recipe uses the real Calabrian chiles in our Italian Herb Chicken Sausage for a balance of sweet heat, layered with smoky sautéed peppers and a swipe of spicy mustard. Fire it up in August or in the dead of winter—this sandwich brings summer vibes year-round.
Sausage Grilled Cheese
We’re not here to tell you how to make grilled cheese—it’s right there in the name. But we are saying you should add sausage to your go-to GC for a tasty flavor boost with a protein punch.
Try slicing up a Classic Roasted Chicken Sausage and folding it into your favorite cheese combo. Or dice up Italian Herb and melt it with mozzarella for a flavor explosion that’s half comfort, half international culinary tour. Feeling cheesy? Go all-in with Melty Cheddar Chicken Sausage—because there’s no such thing as too much cheese. Bonus? They ALL taste better dipped in tomato soup. Honestly, most things do.
Melty Cheddar Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich
A biscuit sandwich is one of life’s great wake-up calls—and our chef-approved version makes it even better.
Grab a warm biscuit, scoop on mashed avocado, then layer in a butterflied Melty Cheddar Chicken Sausage, eggs, and a touch of chipotle mayo. It’s like avocado toast met your favorite Southern-style breakfast sandwich... and they decided to move in together.
Chicken Sausage Parm Sandwich
A classic chicken parm sandwich is a gloriously messy miracle—and swapping in a butterflied Italian Herb Chicken Sausage for the traditional cutlet makes it even easier. Grab a crusty Italian roll, stack it with a sautéed sausage or three (no judgment), slather on marinara, and top with mozzarella.
A quick trip under the broiler and a few basil leaves later, and that’s amore. Want extra crunch? Get your frico on with some homemade parm crisps—you won’t miss the breading one bit.
Sausage Chicken Salad Sandwich
Everybody loves a good chicken salad — it’s one of the best uses for leftover protein and endlessly customizable. Swap in diced Classic Roasted Chicken Sausage for a lighter, juicier twist.
Add mayo, then get creative: pecans and raisins for sweet-nutty vibes, or mandarins and crisp veggies for an East Asian-inspired spin. Literally any chicken salad recipe works beautifully with chicken sausage, so go nuts. (Literally—most nuts are great here.)
Your Sandwich, Your Sausage Project
Honestly, we could do this all day. In fact, we do.
Our leaner, juicier chicken sausages work in practically any sandwich: slice them onto a baguette with daikon and pâté for a chicken-sausage bánh mì, or press them with cheese and kale for a panini you’ll come back to again and again.
And hey, if you want to throw one on a bun and call it a sandwich… that’s your prerogative.
