The star of this recipe? Homemade chicken sausage. There’s something magical about mixing a handful of spices, a touch of brown sugar, and ground chicken to create the most mouthwatering sausage patties. These sausages are great on breakfast muffins, but honestly, they’re just as incredible on their own.
And let’s not forget the hot honey. Oh, the hot honey. It’s a perfect drizzle of sweet heat that transforms this dish into something next-level. I keep it simple by mixing honey with a dash (or more, depending on your spice tolerance) of Lola’s hot sauce. The result? A sticky, spicy, sweet glaze that’s impossible to resist.
These muffins are perfect for lazy weekend mornings, quick breakfasts on the go, or even as a brunch showstopper. Pair them with a fried egg and some melty cheese for an unforgettable sandwich or enjoy them solo for a lighter bite.

Hot Honey Chicken Sausage Breakfast Muffins
Ingredients
Chicken Sausage Ingredients:
- 1 LB Ground Chicken
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Rubbed Sage
- 1/4 teaspoon Allspice
- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
Ingredients:
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup Egg Whites
- 2 Tablespoons whole milk
- Salt + Pepper to taste
- English Muffins
- Sliced Cheese
- 20 g honey I always weigh honey out bc honey is honestly easier to way than measure with a measuring spoon
- 1 Teaspoon Lola’s Hot Sauce or your fave… our fave is Lolas
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken Sausage
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with black pepper, kosher salt, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, rubbed sage, allspice, and brown sugar. Mix until evenly combined (don’t overmix).
- Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Form the chicken mixture into small patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Set aside.
Cook the Eggs
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, whole milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until set in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before cutting into squares or rounds to fit the muffins. (I do squares because if you do rounds some of the eggs get wasted)
Step 3: Prepare the Hot Honey
- In a small bowl, stir together the honey and Lola’s hot sauce until smooth. Set aside.
Step 4: Assemble the Muffins
- Toast the English muffins until golden brown.
- Add a baked egg square or round, followed by a chicken sausage patty.
- Drizzle the hot honey generously over the sausage.
- Place a slice of cheese on top of each sausage (bake a few minutes if you want your cheese melted).
- Top with the other half of the English muffin to complete the sandwich.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- Serve warm for a satisfying breakfast or wrap them individually for an easy, on-the-go meal.
