Juicy grilled sausages glazed with tangy barbecue sauce, ready in 25 minutes for any cookout.
# What You Need:
→ Meats
01 - 8 pork or beef sausages (about 1.3 lbs)
→ BBQ Sauce
02 - 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, your choice
03 - 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
04 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
05 - 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
06 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
07 - 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
→ Garnish & Serving
08 - Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
09 - Soft rolls or toasted buns
10 - Sliced onions and pickles
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 350–400°F.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey or brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and black pepper until evenly combined.
03 - Place the sausages on the preheated grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and nearly cooked through.
04 - Brush the sausages generously with the prepared BBQ sauce mixture. Continue grilling for another 2 to 3 minutes, turning as needed, until the glaze is caramelized and the sausages are fully cooked through.
05 - Remove the sausages from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
06 - Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by soft rolls, sliced onions, and pickles if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The honey and mustard combo creates a glaze that sticks instead of sliding off into the flames
- It comes together in 25 minutes flat but tastes like you fussed over it for an hour
02 -
- Applying the glaze too early is the number one mistake because the sugar will scorch long before the sausage is cooked through
- Soaked wood chips tossed on the coals add a smoke layer that no amount of paprika can fully replicate
03 -
- A silicone basting brush saves you from the sad moment when bristles melt onto the grill grate
- Chicken and turkey sausages work fine but pull them off a minute earlier since they dry out faster
