BBQ Sausage Glazed Grilled (Printable)

Juicy grilled sausages coated in a tangy homemade barbecue glaze with honey, mustard, and smoked paprika.

# 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 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
04 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
05 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - 1/4 teaspoon 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, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey or brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and black pepper until evenly combined.
03 - Place sausages on the preheated grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and nearly cooked through.
04 - Brush the sausages generously with the prepared BBQ sauce glaze. Continue grilling for an additional 2–3 minutes, turning as needed, until the glaze is caramelized and the sausages reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
05 - Remove sausages from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
06 - Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by soft rolls, sliced onions, and pickles if desired.

# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • The homemade glaze takes five minutes but tastes like something from a pitmaster who has been perfecting it for decades
  • It turns cheap grocery store sausages into something people will actually remember and ask about
02 -
  • Sugar based glazes burn fast so only apply them during the last two or three minutes or you will end up with bitter char instead of caramelization
  • Soaked wood chips tossed onto the coals add a real smokiness that paprika alone cannot fully replicate
03 -
  • Score the sausages lightly with a knife before grilling to let the glaze seep into the meat instead of sitting on the surface
  • Warm your buns on the grill for thirty seconds right after the sausages come off so they soak up any leftover glaze on the grates
