In a large bowl combine the chicken, pork, thyme, sage, salt and pepper.
Add the cooled onion mixture and mix well.
At this point take a small piece of the mixture and cook in a skillet with a little vegetable oil, taste to test the salt and seasoning - add more is necessary.
On a plastic-covered surface, form the mixture into 8 good sized patties or 16 smaller patties.
Heat 2 Tbs of vegetabel oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat.

Place cooked patties in a warm oven while you cook the rest of the patties.
Add more oil if necessary and continue cooking patties in the same manner.
