Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Gluten-free cocktail sausages (Little Smokies)
- 1 cup Gluten-free barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Sriracha (or gluten-free hot sauce of choice)
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated to create the sweet and spicy glaze.
Add the Little Smokies to a large skillet or saucepan set over medium heat. Stir occasionally, allowing them to heat through for about 3-4 minutes.
Pour the prepared glaze over the Little Smokies, ensuring they are fully coated. Stir gently to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sausages simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow the glaze to thicken.
Once the glaze has thickened to your liking and the sausages are heated through, remove from heat.
Serve warm with toothpicks or skewers for easy snacking. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a pop of color.
