The ultimate Christmas party food! Cocktail sausages baked to perfection with a sweet and sticky Asian glaze.
I am sure it must be law or something but we all know that you absolutely cannot have a Christmas party without cocktail sausages.
There’s something so moreish about them which guarantees that they will be snapped up quicker than any other party snack served.
This cocktail sausage recipe is no exception and is so quick and easy to prepare.
The glaze can be whipped up in a matter of seconds and the sausages will pretty much take care of themselves in the oven, allowing you to get on with enjoying the party with your guests.
If you are worried that the flavourings in this recipe may be a little strong then fear not!
The honey and balsamic vinegar creates a delicious sweet and sticky glaze whilst the sesame oil and soy sauce gives the sausages a very subtle hint of Asian flavouring.
Alternative Ingredients & Flavours
I promise you these sausages will be loved by kids and grown ups alike but if you are catering for an adult only party then you could add a splash or chilli sauce to the glaze mixture to give it a fiery kick!
The recipe would also work well with frozen sausages but obviously adjust the cooking times as they will take a little longer in the oven.
I always keep frozen cocktail sausages in the freezer over the festive period as its so handy to whip up a batch if you have unexpected guests.

Do you think these could be adapted to the crockpot? Would like to make them along side PF Changs lettuce wraps and wonton dippers for an Asian twist New Years Eve Party and I need the oven space. Plus I’d like to not have to be tending to too many dishes at once.
Ciara Attwell says
Yes I think they would work in the crockpot. But I probably wouldn’t cook them for too long as I would be afraid that they might start to fall apart. Also, to get the brown colour they would need to be quickly fried first. Your NYE dishes sound delicious!
Charlotte Oates says
Love these.
I assume the glaze would work well on larger sausages for an evening meal too (just cook for longer) what do you think?
So glad to have discovered the secret of your fab photography on Instagram, perhaps I should let my little ones do my styling too!!
Ciara Attwell says
Yes Charlotte I think the glaze would work just as well on large sausages.
Ha ha, yes I’m so lucky to have a 3 year old styling assistant!!
