Step 1

Combine chicken, buffalo wing sauce, hot sauce, salt, paprika, and cayenne in a large bowl. Chill until ready to grind.

Grind the mixture through a meat grinder, fitted with small die, into a bowl set in ice.

Form a small sausage patty; place rest of sausage mixture in refrigerator. Cook patty in a small frying pan over medium-high heat or on a plate in the microwave until cooked through. Taste and adjust seasonings of sausage if necessary.

Stuff sausage into hog casings and twist into 6-inch links. Refrigerate until ready to cook.

Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Grill over medium-high direct heat until sausage registers 160°F when an instant read thermometer is inserted in middle of link. Remove from grill, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve.
