Hi Jacquie, Here's a couple of seasoning blends for you to look at. After you pick one that looks good to you, just add about 1/2 teaspoon per pound of ground chicken, adjust the salt level if needed. Then mix for about 5 minutes (easiest if you use your hands), until it gets sticky. Then stuff it into casings or make patties. Hope this helps, Joe
