Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 packages Little Smokies 14 oz each
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup hot honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Creole Trinity and Herb seasoning
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika optional
Instructions
- Add the Little Smokies directly to the crockpot.
- Add the BBQ sauce, hot honey, brown sugar, bourbon, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, CTH seasoning, and smoked paprika if using.
- Stir until the Little Smokies are completely coated in the sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or high for about 2 hours stirring once or twice if you are nearby.
- Once the sauce is hot, sticky, and slightly thickened turn the crockpot to warm and serve.
Notes
- For an extra sweet-heat finish drizzle a little more hot honey over the top right before serving.
- Set out toothpicks and leave the crockpot on warm so everyone can help themselves throughout the party. These are the perfect hands-off game day appetizer.
- The smoked paprika is optional but adds a subtle smokiness that deepens the BBQ and bourbon flavors nicely. Worth adding if you have it.
- The sauce continues to thicken as it sits on warm. If it gets thicker than you like stir in a small splash of water or extra BBQ sauce to loosen it.
