Ingredients
  

  • 24 cocktail sausages
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • Toothpicks for securing

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Aluminum foil
  • Small bowl
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  2. Cut each bacon slice into three equal pieces.
  3. Wrap one piece of bacon around each cocktail sausage in a spiral pattern. Secure with a toothpick.
  4. Arrange wrapped sausages on prepared baking sheet, spacing them half an inch apart.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic until smooth.
  6. Brush half of the glaze mixture over all wrapped sausages.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking time.
  8. Remove from oven, brush with remaining glaze, and return to oven for 10-15 minutes until bacon is crispy and glaze is caramelized.
  9. Let rest for 3-5 minutes before transferring to serving platter. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, add red pepper flakes to glaze. Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated unbaked until ready to cook. Substitute maple syrup for brown sugar for variation.
