01 - 8 pork or beef sausages (about 1 lb 5 oz)
→ 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

# How to Cook:
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 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 another 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 Advice:
01 -
- The glaze hits that perfect balance between sweet and tangy so you keep going back for another bite
- It comes together in under 30 minutes which means less time cooking and more time outside with people
02 -
- Never apply the glaze too early or the sugar will burn long before the sausage is cooked through
- Soaked wood chips tossed onto the grill transform this from a weeknight dinner into something that tastes like you spent all day on it
03 -
- If your sausages are casingless or very lean, oil the grill grates first to prevent sticking and tearing
- Plant based sausages work surprisingly well with this glaze but check them a minute or two earlier since they cook faster
