Ingredients:
For the Pigs in Blankets:
- 16 cocktail sausages (or mini hot dogs)
- 8 slices of streaky bacon (cut in half lengthwise)
For the Sticky Glaze:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. - Wrap the sausages:
Take each mini sausage and wrap it tightly with half a slice of bacon. Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. - Prepare the glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined. - Brush with glaze:
Generously brush each wrapped sausage with the sticky glaze, ensuring they’re evenly coated. - Bake and baste:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the sausages halfway through and basting with more glaze. Continue baking until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. - Serve warm:
Transfer the sticky pigs in blankets to a serving platter and enjoy while warm. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for added flair.
These sticky pigs in blankets are sure to be the highlight of any spread. Sweet, smoky, and savory, they’ll disappear as quickly as you serve them!
