Day 10--Archer Farms Roasted Red Pepper and Asiago Cheese Chicken Sausage

Back to another Target brand. Honestly, these chicken sausages are a nice way to break up the routine of doing regular sausages/hot dogs. And the roasted red pepper didn't disappoint in breaking up the routine of things.

Side note, anyone notice that roasted red pepper seems to be a huge food fad right now? Pasta sauce, hummus, chips, salsa, and sausages. What's the big deal with the red pepper now? Many times delicious, but holy smokes, with the abundance of products out there you'd think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. At least it is a bit more tolerable than the Pomegranate phase. Never in my life have I met such a frustrating food to eat. That and Artichokes, but at least with those when you get to the middle you get a nice reward for your efforts. I digress.....

This sausage grills nicely, has almost a buffalo sauce orange to it, and throws you for a loop in the flavor department. This is the first sausage from Archer Farms where I can actually get a chicken taste. I don't know about how much red pepper and asiago cheese I can taste, but there is a strong chicken taste to it. This in itself is alright, but I am noticing you take a gamble with Archer Farms stuff. You might get what is advertised on the label, or you might get something totally different. In a way it is like having a grilled chicken breast rolled up and put in a bun. Skip the ketchup and mustard on this one and put some of your favorite bbq sauce on it for an appropriate change of pace. I could see these being a good one to try out when you get the chance, they taste like a nicely done, light, chicken breast and would add a nice variety to any grilling occasion. People who have a strong dislike for pork or beef products would be encouraged to try these.
