Yes, it works well. Be sure to use the dark meat as the breasts alone will lack juiciness. Even for that, if your grinding, suggest that you add a little bit of the fat or skin to the mix too. Freeze as a big mass, or form into patties. I like to even make breakfast sausage patties out of this. Add some salt, and Bells Seasonings (sage, rosemary, thyme), black pepper, and coriander. These will make great sausages too.
