BBQ Sausage Grilled Glazed (Printable version)
Juicy grilled sausages coated in a smoky, tangy BBQ glaze with honey and mustard. Ready in 25 minutes.
# What You’ll 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 grill to medium heat, approximately 350–400°F.
02 - In a small bowl, combine barbecue sauce, honey or brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and black pepper, stirring until smooth.
03 - Place sausages on the preheated grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and nearly cooked through.
04 - Brush sausages generously with the prepared BBQ sauce mixture. Continue grilling for 2–3 minutes, turning as needed, until the glaze is caramelized and the sausages are fully cooked through.
05 - Remove sausages from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with parsley, and accompanied by rolls, sliced onions, and pickles if desired.
# Expert tips:
01 -
- The honey and mustard glaze caramelizes into something that tastes like it came from a roadside BBQ stand
- It takes twenty five minutes start to finish which means you can decide on dinner at the last second and still look like you planned it
02 -
- Applying sugary glaze too early is the number one mistake and will give you charred bitter spots instead of a sticky caramelized finish
- Letting the sausages rest even for just two minutes makes a real difference in how juicy the first bite is
03 -
- If your grill runs hot, move the sausages to a cooler zone during the glazing step to avoid burning the sugar
- A silicone basting brush is worth the small investment because it holds more sauce and does not shed bristles onto hot food
