SALSICCIA

For those of you not familiar with Italy, this is how real Italian sausage is sold, in thick lengths as pictured. Some types are very spicy. You can get narrower ones than this, but they still don't resemble a British sausage.

In the second photo you can see how they look cooked, with marinated chicken. You could chuck them in, cut up, with virtually any marinated chicken recipe you have: they will need to be cooked in an oven pre-heated to 200 C for at least an hour. [Italians would probably cook them for longer or grill them.]
