Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 packages (12 oz each) little smokies sausages
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra spice)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Cook the little smokies: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the little smokies and pour the sauce mixture over them. Stir to coat the sausages evenly with the sauce.
- Simmer: Let the smokies simmer in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are heated through and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve: Transfer the smoky little smokies to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of extra red pepper flakes or chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with toothpicks for easy serving!
Notes
- You can adjust the level of sweetness and spiciness by adding more honey or sriracha according to your taste.
- For an even smokier flavor, add a little bit of liquid smoke to the sauce.
- These little smokies can be made in advance and reheated on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch or blue cheese, for extra flavor.
