Ingredients
- 16 oz Cocktail sausages (mini smoked franks)
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, honey, and paprika. Stir until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
Step 2
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, and then reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld together.
Step 3
Add the cocktail sausages to the saucepan. Stir to coat them evenly in the bourbon sauce.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken and coat the sausages thoroughly as it cooks.
Step 5
Once the sausages are heated through and the sauce is sticky and glossy, remove the pan from the heat.
Step 6
Transfer the Bourbon Franks to a serving dish and pierce them with toothpicks for easy serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley if desired.
Step 7
Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful appetizer with friends and family!
