BBQ Sausage Glaze (Print Version)
Juicy grilled sausages coated in a smoky, tangy barbecue glaze ready in 25 minutes.
# What You Need:
→ Meats
01 - 8 pork or beef sausages (about 1 lb 5 oz)
→ 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 Prepare:
01 - Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 350–400°F.
02 - In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey or brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and black pepper, stirring until evenly blended.
03 - Place the sausages on the preheated grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until well browned and nearly cooked through.
04 - Brush the sausages generously with the prepared BBQ sauce mixture. Continue grilling for an additional 2–3 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 them rest for 2 minutes.
06 - Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, and accompanied by soft rolls, sliced onions, and pickles if desired.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The homemade glaze takes thirty seconds and tastes like something from a pit stop off a southern highway
- These disappear faster than anything else at a cookout, every single time
02 -
- Sugar based glazes burn fast once you brush them on, so that final two to three minutes is not negotiable
- Pricking sausage casings with a fork seems logical but it actually lets all the moisture escape
03 -
- If your glaze is too thick to brush easily, thin it with a splash of water or apple juice
- Plant based sausages work with this exact method but check them a minute earlier since they cook faster
