Sweet & Savory Honey Garlic Sausage

This sweet-and-savory honey garlic sausage delivers a glossy, sticky glaze with deep garlicky aroma and a balanced soy finish. Browning the sausage first builds fond (flavorful browned bits) in the skillet; dissolving those bits into the honey–soy mixture creates a sauce that clings beautifully. Keep the heat moderate so the garlic stays fragrant (not bitter) and the honey doesn’t scorch. Mince the garlic and measure the honey and soy before you start so you can move smoothly once the sausage is seared.

Ingredients

• 🌭 1 lb sausage links or sliced sausage (your choice)
• 🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 🍯 1/4 cup honey
• 🥄 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 🧂 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 🧈 1 tbsp olive oil
• 🌿 Optional garnish: chopped green onions or sesame seeds

Ingredient notes: Choose mild, spicy, or smoked sausage to suit your taste; links will be extra juicy, while pre‑sliced sausage browns faster with more caramelized edges. Honey provides body and sheen; soy sauce brings savory depth; black pepper adds gentle warmth; olive oil helps the sausage take on color and prevents sticking.
