Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) package cocktail sausages (Smokies)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Place the cocktail sausages into the basin of a small slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the sausages in the slow cooker, stirring gently to coat them evenly.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir halfway through cooking.
- Serve warm directly from the slow cooker.
Notes
- For a thicker glaze, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
- You can substitute honey for the brown sugar if you prefer a different sweetness profile.
- If you do not have a slow cooker, you can combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring often.
