Glazed Kielbasa Bites

These lil glazed kielbasa bites are perfect for your next backyard get-together. They’re easy to make, grill up in just minutes, and they feed a small crowd. Every bite has a nice mix of Asian-inspired flavors, perfectly complimenting the grilled sausage. Mix things up by using different kinds of sausages, from kielbasa to smoked sausage to even andouille.

For little kick, substitute Sriracha sauce for the chili sauce. Any good thick sauce will work just great on these glazed kielbasa bites. Thinner sauces will not adhere well enough to stay around long enough to add flavor. Thicker is better.

Pineapple Chicken Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

I was looking for a different take on chicken wings and boy, did I find it. These pineapple chicken wings are sweeter than the “usual” wings you get, with a slight Asian flavor thanks to the soy sauce.

The dipping sauce was fantastic. So good in fact that I ended up using the same sauce later for our grilled glazed kielbasa bites.

If you have a Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less fryer, try out my Wingin’ator 3000 modification. It lets you cook a large amount of wings all at once.

Also try my delicious peach apricot wings.

I absolutely love chicken wings, cooked any way, with any sauce (or without). I love them so much that I created a free eCookbook that is full of my favorite wing recipes.

Pineapple King Coleslaw

I absolutely love the contrast between the sweet pineapple and the bite of the lemon and onion in this Pineapple King coleslaw. The crunch of the cabbage and the creaminess of the mayonnaise really rocks this slaw, too.

Pineapple King Coleslaw

This simple classic salad was a great side for our meatball sandwiches. The sweetness is a welcomed surprised. The pineapple King coleslaw is still light enough to not overwhelm. I’ve seen variations where people have substituted mandarin orange wedges. That seems like an interesting variation that would be worth a try!

I recently discovered Blue Plate mayonnaise, which I think is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

For a little change, use broccoli slaw mix instead of the ‘usual’ cabbage mix.

Also try my Cajun rainbow slaw.
