While you can find uncooked chicken sausage at the grocery store most often it is found in pre-cooked sausage links in the same area you will find hot dogs and other pre-cooked sausages.
The three most common brands in our area are Alfresco, Gilbert’s, and Aidells. They each make several different flavors of chicken sausage and most of them are keto-friendly! I always use Aidells Chicken and Apple smoked chicken sausage to make my Sheet Pan Sausage and Cabbage.
