Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb kielbasa sausage
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and water to make the sauce.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sliced kielbasa. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the sausage is lightly browned.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the prepared sauce over the kielbasa in the skillet.
Stir to coat the sausage evenly with the sauce and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and glazes the kielbasa.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Serve immediately as an appetizer with toothpicks or as a main dish over rice or alongside roasted vegetables.
