Description

This Sweet & Savory Honey Garlic Sausage recipe combines juicy sausage links with a flavorful garlic honey glaze that balances sweetness and umami. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal, this dish can be made with either pork or chicken sausage and is enhanced with a touch of soy sauce, garlic, and a hint of spice for those who like heat. Garnished with fresh parsley, it makes a delicious dinner served alongside your favorite sides.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage

  • 4-6 sausage links (pork or chicken, depending on preference)

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the sausage links in the skillet.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Cook the sausages, turning occasionally to brown all sides evenly. This should take about 10 minutes until cooked through and nicely browned.
  3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it. Stir in honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well, allowing the sauce to bubble and thicken slightly for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Coat the Sausages: Toss the cooked sausages in the honey garlic sauce until they are well coated and the glaze is sticky and rich.
  5. Season and Garnish: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
  6. Serve: Serve the sausages hot with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Use chicken sausage for a leaner option or pork sausage for richer flavor.
  • Dijon mustard and red pepper flakes are optional but add depth and a slight heat to the sauce.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
  • Do not overcook the garlic to avoid bitterness.
  • This recipe reheats well and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
