BBQ Sausage Glazed Perfection (Printer-friendly)
Juicy grilled sausages coated in a tangy, smoky BBQ glaze with honey and mustard — done in 25 minutes.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Meats
01 - 8 pork or beef sausages (about 1 lb 5 oz)
→ BBQ Sauce
02 - 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
03 - 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
04 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
05 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - 1/4 teaspoon 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 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. Stir until evenly incorporated.
03 - Place the sausages on the preheated grill. Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and nearly cooked through.
04 - Brush the sausages generously with the prepared BBQ glaze. 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 rest for 2 minutes before serving.
06 - Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, and accompanied by soft rolls, sliced onions, and pickles as desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The homemade glaze takes five minutes and tastes infinitely better than anything from a bottle
- It feeds a crowd with almost zero effort so you actually get to enjoy your own party
02 -
- Never apply the glaze too early or the sugars will burn into a bitter black crust long before the sausage is done
- Letting sausages rest for even two minutes makes a surprising difference in juiciness
03 -
- If your glaze starts smoking heavily move the sausages to a cooler part of the grill immediately
- Plant based sausages work beautifully with this method but need about two minutes less cooking time
