What marinade can you use for smoked sausage?

You don't typically marinade smoked sausage. The reason is that smoked sausage is already cured and seasoned, and marinating it can actually make it mushy and affect the flavor.

Instead of marinating, here are some ways to enhance smoked sausage:

Flavor Boosters:

* Glazes: Apply a sweet, smoky, or spicy glaze during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Some popular options include:

* Honey mustard glaze

* Brown sugar and BBQ sauce glaze

* Maple syrup and chili powder glaze

* Spices: Add a sprinkle of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder to the sausage before cooking.

* Sauces: Serve the smoked sausage with your favorite dipping sauces like BBQ sauce, mustard, or horseradish sauce.

* Sides: Pair smoked sausage with complementary sides like baked beans, coleslaw, or potato salad.

Remember:

* The best approach is to enjoy the smoky flavor of the sausage as it is.

* If you want to add flavor, focus on glazes, spices, or sauces rather than marinating.
