How Long Do You Cook Cocktail Sausages

Introduction

If you want to have something hot to pass around on a tray, then cocktail sausages are what you're after. There's nothing fiddly to make, nothing to go right or wrong, and everyone loves them. These are not just any cocktail sausages: the sesame oil, honey and soy give them a sweet-savoury stickiness that is pretty well impossible to resist.

Ingredients

Makes: 75 cocktail sausages

Metric Cups

1 kilogram cocktail sausages
2 tablespoons sesame oil
125 millilitres honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce

2¼ pounds skinny breakfast sausages
2 tablespoons asian sesame oil
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan/gas mark 7/425ºF.
Separate the sausages, if they are linked, and arrange in a large, shallow-sided roasting tin.
Whisk together the oil, honey and soy sauce and pour over the sausages, then use your hands - or a couple of spatulas - to move everything about in the pan so that all the sausages are slicked.
Roast for 25-30 minutes; give them a shuffle about halfway through cooking if you happen to be near the oven.

These sausages always go down a treat in my family - I have made them many times, with many comments after the recipe. I like to add some sesame seeds to the mixture as well. Enjoy!!

I just made these for my kids, my eldest who is 4 is autistic and bit of a nightmare with food. I used pork chipolatas and then popped them on pop sticks.. The best and most fun dinner we have had in ages!

I have made these on many occasions now and they always get gobbled up straight away, especially by teenagers and young adults. I cut chipolatas in half before cooking so I end up with little bite size pieces which are great for parties. These cocktail sausages are a very easy party food if you're not into spending a lot of time in the kitchen.

Made these for my Fireworks Party this year. Let's just say they were gone in a bang! Everybody asked for the recipe! All the kids were asking their Mums for them for tea the next night! DELICIOUS!
