Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground pork
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground sage
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Ice-cold water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground pork, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, ground sage, ground thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the pork.

Step 3

Add the ice-cold water to the mixture and continue to mix until the sausage becomes slightly sticky, which helps bind it together.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. For best results, refrigerate overnight.

Step 5

When ready to cook, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Shape the sausage mixture into small patties or form them into logs, depending on your preference.

Step 7

Cook the sausage in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).

Step 8

Remove the cooked sausages from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the sausages immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for future use.
