Sometimes I buy Johnsonville, but I do enjoy the chicken ones very much.
This time I made my own -
I used ground veal and pork; added salt, brown sugar, pepper, ginger, onion powder, nutmeg, coriander, mace and ice water. I just "eye-balled" everything - basically veal and pork in just about equal amounts, and a spinkle, pinch and dash of the seasonings. Combine well; cover; refrigerate over night and stuff the next day. These are authentic german fresh brats.
If I make chicken ones, salt, pepper, parsley, sage, savory, garlic and paprika and anything else I want to throw in.
When I don't have casings - I make patties.
