BBQ Sausage Glazed Grilled (Printable)

Juicy grilled sausages glazed with tangy homemade BBQ sauce, ready in 25 minutes.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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

# Steps:

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 ground black pepper, stirring until evenly blended.
03 - Place the sausages on the preheated grill and 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 parsley and accompanied by soft rolls, sliced onions, and pickles if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The homemade glaze takes two minutes but makes people think you have a secret culinary background
  • It turns cheap sausages into something you would actually serve to guests you want to impress
02 -
  • Never apply the glaze too early because the sugars will burn into a bitter black crust long before the sausage is cooked through
  • Soaked wood chips tucked into foil with holes poked in it will give gas grills a legitimate smoky depth without any extra equipment
03 -
  • If your glaze is too thick to brush easily, whisk in a tablespoon of warm water until it flows off the brush in a smooth ribbon
  • Let the sausages rest those two minutes even if people are already reaching for them because cutting into a just-grilled sausage sends juices everywhere except your mouth
