The Best bbq cocktail wieners recipe

I’m so excited to share with you my family’s favorite BBQ cocktail wieners recipe. This dish has been a staple in our household for years, and it’s perfect for any occasion.

Whether it’s a casual dinner at home or a special event, these delicious wieners are always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors, paired with the crunchy texture of the wiener itself, makes for an unbeatable taste experience.

As a busy mom, I appreciate how easy it is to prepare this recipe – just throw the ingredients together and let the slow cooker do the rest! My kids love helping me in the kitchen, and they’re always eager to get their hands on these tasty treats.

In fact, my youngest son is particularly fond of them, and he often requests them for his birthday dinner (yes, you read that right – birthday dinner!) It’s not uncommon for us to have leftovers from this recipe, but that’s never a problem since they reheat beautifully and are just as tasty the next day.

Speaking of reheating, I’ve found that microwaving them for 20-30 seconds does the trick nicely. My family and I are huge fans of this recipe, and I’m confident you’ll be too once you give it a try!

🥘Ingredients

For the Cocktail Wieners

1 pack (24 count) cocktail wieners
1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the BBQ Sauce

1 cup BBQ sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F.
2This ensures the wieners cook evenly and get a nice char.
3Prepare a baking tray by lining it with foil for easy cleanup.
4In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
5This will create a tangy and sweet glaze for the wieners.
6Set the sauce aside.
7Using a basting brush, lightly coat the cocktail wieners in vegetable oil.
8This will help them develop a nice brown color on the grill and prevent them from sticking.
9Place the wieners on the preheated grill, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
10Grill the wieners for about 5-7 minutes, turning them occasionally with grill tongs to ensure even browning.
11You will see nice grill marks forming on the wieners.
12Once they are evenly browned, remove them from the grill and transfer them to the foil-lined baking tray.
13Brush the prepared BBQ sauce mixture generously over the grilled wieners, ensuring each one is well coated.
14This will give them a rich, smoky flavor.
15Return the wieners to the grill and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, basting them frequently with more sauce until the sauce has caramelized and the wieners are glazed and slightly charred.
16Once the wieners are fully coated in the caramelized sauce and have a nice char, remove them from the grill.
17Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
18This allows the flavors to meld together and makes them easier to handle.
19Serve the BBQ cocktail wieners hot, directly from the grill.
20They pair well with other grilled items, such as vegetables or burgers.
