One might go to the meat store and take a quick photo of some 80/20 and 70/30 (or whatever ratios your meat market carry) for comparison. This should give you a quick idea on where to start concerning fat content for sausage making.

The local Safeway has been stocking one pound packages of chicken Fat with some skin. Has any one used this as a fat additive? If so, what product were you making and what are the results? Didn’t look at the price.

I’ve only used it making chicken sausages.
