BBQ Sausage Glazed Grilled (Printable Version)
Juicy grilled sausages with a tangy honey-mustard BBQ glaze, ready in 25 minutes.
# What You'll Need:
→ 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
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat 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 black pepper until well blended.
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 mixture. Continue grilling for an additional 2–3 minutes, turning as needed, until the glaze is caramelized and the sausages are fully cooked.
05 - Remove 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 Insights:
01 -
- The glaze hits sweet, smoky, and tangy all at once without any fancy technique
- It comes together in 25 minutes flat so you are never stuck inside while everyone else is outside
02 -
- Sugar based glazes burn fast so do not walk away during those final 2 to 3 minutes
- Letting sausages rest is not optional because the juices redistribute and keep every bite juicy instead of spilling out when you cut in
03 -
- Score the sausages lightly in a crosshatch pattern before grilling so the glaze seeps into the meat instead of sitting on the surface
- Warm your buns on the grill for 30 seconds cut side down because a cold bun kills the whole experience
