BBQ Sausage Grilled Glazed (Printable Version)

Juicy sausages grilled and glazed with tangy barbecue sauce for a smoky, flavorful dish.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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

# Directions:

01 - Preheat 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 smooth.
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 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 rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, and accompanied by soft rolls, sliced onions, and pickles if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The homemade glaze takes thirty seconds and makes store bought sausages taste like they came from a specialty butcher
  • Everything cooks in under fifteen minutes so you spend more time with people and less time chained to the grill
02 -
  • Never apply the glaze too early because the sugar content will burn and turn bitter long before the sausage is cooked through
  • Letting the sausages rest for even two minutes keeps them juicy instead of leaking clear juice the moment you cut into them
03 -
  • If your grill has wildly uneven heat zones, start the sausages on the cooler side and move them to the hot side only during the glazing step
  • Warming your buns on the grill for thirty seconds right before serving makes the whole sandwich feel like it came from a roadside stand
