Apricot Habanero Hasselback Sausage Bites

2 teaspoons dry mustard powder

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

¼ cup apricot preserves

½ cup Miller’s Habanero Banana Pepper Sauce

1 package chicken apple sausages (fully cooked, 12 ounce package)

2 Tablespoons thinly sliced green onion

 

Preheat oven to 425° and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mustard powder, brown sugar, apricot preserves and Miller’s Habanero Banana Pepper Sauce.  Pour half of the mixture into a small serving bowl and set aside.

Place one of the sausage links on a cutting board and lay a chopstick along both of its long sides. Using a sharp knife, slice every ¼ inch along the length of the sausage, stopping when your knife reaches the chopsticks so the link stays intact along the bottom. Slice the links fully into 1-inch bite-sized pieces (about 3 rings per piece) and repeat with the remaining links.

Place the sausage bites into the large bowl with the remaining sauce and toss to evenly coat.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and well browned. Place on a serving platter with the reserved dipping sauce, sprinkle with green onion and serve immediately.
