Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound pre-cooked kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa into 1/2 inch thick bite-sized rounds to ensure even cooking and easy snacking.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sriracha, honey or brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.
  3. Coat the Kielbasa: Place the sliced kielbasa into a mixing bowl, pour the sauce over, and toss to coat each piece evenly. Let the kielbasa marinate briefly for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors without becoming soggy.
  4. Cook to Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the coated kielbasa slices in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until browned, caramelized, and the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the cooked bites to a serving plate, sprinkle with chopped fresh green onions, and serve hot for the best juicy texture and spicy punch.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked kielbasa to save time and ensure juicy, smoky flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; sear in batches for even caramelization.
  • Adjust sauce consistency by adding water if too thick or simmer longer if too runny.
  • Marinate the kielbasa briefly to deepen flavor absorption without sogginess.
  • Serve immediately while warm for optimal texture and flavor.
