Very nice. Recommend you use a spicy sausage (like chorizo)to add flavour not just ordinary sausages. Warning…the fat content in sausages is foreboding, might be better to just rub the olive oil, around the pan and brown both chicken and sausage over a low heat.
Actually, I suppose you can also use those spicy dried South African sausages!
