Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Cocktail sausages
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the cocktail sausages to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and heated through. Remove any excess grease if necessary.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the browned sausages in the skillet, stirring gently to coat the sausages evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sausages in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the sausages are fully glazed.
Transfer the barbecue sausage bites to a serving platter. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped parsley for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Serve warm with toothpicks or skewers for easy handling. Enjoy!
