Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 (14 ounce) packages smoked chicken sausage
  • 2 cups Sweet Baby Ray’s® barbecue sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Cut each smoked chicken sausage link into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and easy serving.
  2. Coat with Sauce: Place the sausage bites into a bowl and pour 2 cups of Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce over them. Stir well so that all pieces are evenly coated with the sauce.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the sausage bites until ready to grill. This allows the flavors to meld.
  4. Preheat the Grill: Turn your BBQ grill flame to low heat to prepare for gentle grilling.
  5. Prepare the Grilling Pan: Spray a flat grilling pan that is safe for use on the grill with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill the Sausage Bites: Place the sausage bites into the prepared pan and place it on the grill. Grill the sausage bites, turning frequently, until they are heated through and slightly caramelized from the barbecue sauce, about 8-10 minutes.

Notes

  • Use a grilling pan safe for BBQ grills to avoid flare-ups and keep sausage bites secure.
  • Turning the bites frequently prevents burning and promotes even cooking.
  • For a spicier kick, add chili powder or hot sauce to the barbecue sauce before coating.
  • Serve immediately as a hot appetizer or snack. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated.
