  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Chopped parsley or green onions for garnish

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add Lil Smokies and cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
  3. Whisk honey, hot sauce, and soy sauce together in a small bowl.
  4. Pour sauce over sausages and simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Allow honey to come to room temperature for easier mixing. Avoid overcooking garlic to prevent bitterness.
