Easy Finger Food – Chicken and Thyme Sausage Rolls

27/11/2015 by Amanda

These Chicken and Thyme Sausage Rolls are a simple to prepare snack which will be welcome at all your holiday gatherings.

Once again we are headed into the silly season – that time of year when everyone seems to be flat out entertaining everyone else. It’s a time of generosity and hospitality and if we are not hosting guests ourselves it’s a pretty fair bet that we are going to be enjoying the hospitality of friends, family and nearest and/or dearest (of course those terms are not always inclusive). I’m always looking for simple but tasty recipes for this time of year – and these chicken and thyme sausage rolls are among things that I can whip up quickly and possibly freeze, so that I have a small selection of snacks to offer guests or take when invited elsewhere.

Chicken and thyme sausage rolls

This recipe for chicken and thyme sausage rolls falls into the above category. It’s a longstanding favourite in this house and can be whipped up quickly with bought chicken mince and frozen pastry or you can mince up some chicken thighs, either in a food processor or using a mincer (I used the KitchenAid mincing attachment on my stand mixer) yourself and make your own pastry. There are no prizes for guessing which pastry option this lazy food blogger went for.

Serve them to the kids with some tomato sauce or to your friends with some delicious homemade chutney – they are especially nice if served with caramelised onion. Here’s where a frozen stash of my Tfaya will come in very handy indeed!

    Sausage rolls are one of my favourite snacks and meals. I don’t think I’ve ever met one I totally didn’t love! Nice flavour combo 😀

    Snap! I’ve been making sausage rolls too this week. I was toying with the idea of chicken ones but didn’t have a recipe, so I went with my standard pork recipe instead. I love the inclusion of the preserved lemon in these. Pinning them for next time.

    Even in a heatwave, I can never knock back a sausage roll. I saw these on FB and they looked terrific. We definitely are in the season of parties, pass-around food and hospitality and these would be a winner at any festive event xx

    One of the first things I learned to eat that was truly Australian was a sausage roll. It wouldn’t have been as good as this. These are beautiful!!
