HB BBQ Sauce Glazed Brats

A little sweet, a little heat, and the sauce is our own recipe. Brush it on at the end so it glazes instead of burning.

How we do it

Method

01
Grill first, sauce later
Grill the brats over medium heat, turning every few minutes, for 12 to 14 minutes. Get them nearly done before any sauce touches them.
02
Warm the sauce
Warm the BBQ sauce with the butter in a small pan until it's glossy and pourable. Keeping it warm is what gives you an even coat.
03
Glaze in the last minutes
Brush the brats with sauce and turn them every 30 seconds for the last two to three minutes. Move them to the cooler side if the sugar starts to catch.
04
Second coat off the heat
Take the brats off, brush once more, and let them sit for three minutes. The second coat is the one people taste.
05
Build it
Bun, brat, griddled onions, and a little more sauce at the table.

Cook's note

Our sauce is our own recipe, made for us by an outside facility — we're proud of it, but we won't call it homemade.

There's nothing fancy about these, just the way we cook them up at the farmers market, hot off the Blackstone.
