Sausage Bites with Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce ~ delicious bite-size appetizers you can easily bake, make ahead and reheat just minutes before guests arrive. Super quick and perfect to serve at your next party!

Provided by 2 sisters recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package of Italian sweet sausage links (4 to 5 large links)
1/3 cup of Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce ( I used Soy Vay)
3 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar
1 Tbsp. ketchup
2 tsp. apple-cider vinegar
Dried or fresh chopped chives

Steps:

  • Remove the sausages from the package and allow them to warm up to room temperature for a few minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.
  • Layer a baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • Place the sausages in a single layer on the prepared baking pan, but separate them, should not be touching.
  • Take a fork and lightly prick each one a few times, about 3 times in each link.
  • Bake sausages for 25 - 30 minutes, until they are fully brown and cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven. Use a fork and sharp knife to slice them into 4 equal parts.
  • In a small saucepan, and on low heat, stir Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce with light brown sugar, ketchup, and vinegar, until the sugar is fully dissolved and allow the sauce to thicken a little, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
  • Drop a few already cooked sausage bites (in small batches) into the heated sauce to coat them. Pick up each sausage bite (allowing the excess sauce to drip back into the pan) and place it onto a serving platter. Place toothpicks into each one. Garnish with a sprinkle on top with dried or fresh chopped chives and serve. If you need more dipping sauce, repeat the ingredients and heat up the additional sauce.
  • Serve warm with extra dipping sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give you plenty of room to cook the sausage bites without overcrowding them.
  • Cook the sausage bites in batches: If you try to cook too many sausage bites at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches of 8-10 at a time.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the sausage bites, make sure to leave some space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the sausage bites until they are browned on all sides: This will help to ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Make sure the sauce is thickened before adding the sausage bites: This will help to prevent the sausage bites from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the sausage bites immediately: They are best when served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour sausage bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be cooked in under 30 minutes. The sweet and sour sauce is the perfect complement to the savory sausage, and the crispy breading adds a nice crunch. These sausage bites are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
