A quick and easy appetizer featuring smoky little smokies wrapped in crispy bacon and glazed with a sweet and spicy honey sriracha sauce. Perfect for parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound little smokies (cocktail sausages)
  • 12 slices thin-cut bacon
  • 1/4 cup (85g) pure honey
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds or chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, garlic powder, and black pepper to prepare the glaze.
  3. Cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise. Wrap each little smokie with a half-slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
  4. Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet (optional). Arrange the bacon-wrapped smokies seam side down on the rack or directly on a parchment or silicone mat-lined baking sheet.
  5. Brush each wrapped smokie generously with the honey-sriracha glaze.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning and basting once halfway through baking. The bacon should be crispy and caramelized, and the glaze sticky and bubbling.
  7. If desired, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp the bacon further, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Let the smokies rest for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired before serving.

Notes

Use thin-cut bacon for easier wrapping and crispiness. Turn smokies halfway through baking for even cooking and glaze caramelization. Watch glaze near the end to prevent burning. Let rest before serving to thicken glaze. For gluten-free, verify all ingredient labels. Variations include swapping honey for maple syrup or adding cheese inside smokies.
