Honey Garlic Little Smokies
Easy peasy, fool-proof cocktail sausages that are amazingly sweet and savory, and of course, completely irresistible!
I had planned on sharing this in the coming weeks, but with the Super Bowl on Sunday, I realized that this absolutely needs to be added to your game day menu stat, no questions asked. Because at the end of the day, no one can resist these cute little smokies.
Now I do have a slow cooker version of this but this one here has some Asian flair, extra garlic and of course, those sesame seeds garnish. Just based on the garnish itself, I highly recommend this for your tailgating party. It makes for such a pretty dish to impress your guests!
No, but really, these little smokies are unbelievably easy and completely irresistible. Now they should be sufficient for at least 8 appetizer servings but if you end up feeding yourself and only yourself, I won’t blame you.

Yummy!! Going to make these for the super bowl 🙂 Can you cook in the crock pot instead?
Yes, you can throw all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until completely heated through.
Good to know!! These look amazing. Little smokies with a twist. Making these Sunday for sure!
Chungah, Another winning recipe. But when you add Sriracha, I usually pass on the recipe. I really want to try this one,. So what is Sriracha?
Sriracha is an Asian-style hot sauce. Please feel free to omit as needed, although I would advise against it as it brings in so much flavor!
Don’t pass on it! Sriracha definitely has heat, but such a wonderful heat. You see it on nearly every Asian restaurant table. The most popular brand has the tell-tale bright green twist list. A regular condiment staple at our house.A little goes a long way. But so great!
Delicius!! Just love it! i will try it for sure!
Looking forward to making these on Sunday. Thanks for the idea!
Just what I need to make for the big game this weekend!
I love your Asian twist on these game day snacks. Glad you shared this a little early!
you said “old fashioned beef franks”, but aren’t they ‘lil smokies?
Bobbi, the packaging on these “little smokies” is labeled old fashioned beef franks.
