# What you'll need:
→ Meats
01 - 8 pork or beef sausages (about 1.3 lbs)
→ BBQ Sauce
02 - 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
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. Stir until evenly incorporated.
03 - Place sausages on the preheated grill. Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and nearly cooked through.
04 - Brush sausages generously with the prepared BBQ sauce mixture. Continue grilling for another 2–3 minutes, turning as needed, until the glaze is caramelized and 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 suggestions:
01 -
- The glaze hits that perfect sweet and tangy spot that makes people reach for seconds without thinking
- It takes almost zero effort but looks and tastes like you planned something special
02 -
- Never brush on the sauce too early or the sugars will burn and turn bitter long before the sausage is cooked through
- Letting them rest for even two minutes makes a real difference in how juicy they stay when you bite in
03 -
- If your sausages are curved differently they will cook unevenly so rotate them a quarter turn each time you flip
- Keep a spray bottle of water nearby for flare ups because the honey in that glaze will absolutely catch fire if you are not watching
