Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat over medium heat.
Add the kielbasa slices to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes until lightly browned on both sides. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the barbecue sauce. Stir well to coat all the kielbasa slices evenly.
Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and fully coats the kielbasa.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with toothpicks as a finger-friendly appetizer.
