Little Smokies with Chipotle Honey Sauce
This Chipotle Honey Little Smokies recipe is an easy Crock Pot appetizer made with a sweet, smoky, spicy sauce. Perfect for parties, game day, or holiday gatherings!
Ingredients
- ½ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 chipotles in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce, from the can of chipotles
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 28 ounces little smokies, or any cocktail sausages
Instructions
- Add the honey, lime juice, soy sauce, chipotles, adobo sauce, and garlic powder to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Place the little smokies in a slow cooker.
- Pour the sauce from the blender over the smokies in the slow cooker. Toss to make sure the sauce coats all of the little smokies.
- Cook in the slow cooker on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours.
- Turn the slow cooker to the warm function for up to 6 hours.
Notes
- You can also make this recipe quickly on the stove. Simply blend up the sauce, then add the little smokies and sauce to a pot on the stove over medium-high heat. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- The sauce can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in the fridge until you're ready to cook the little smokies. This is what I did for my birthday party and it worked out great! Prep time was literally 2 minutes on the day of the party.
- Store any leftover little smokies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can reheat them for 90 seconds in the microwave, or in a pot on the stove for 4-5 minutes.
- You can also freeze the prepared little smokies for up to 6 months. Make sure they've cooled completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag and into the freezer. Defrost in the fridge for 24 hours, then pour them back in a Crock Pot on low for 2-3 hours to heat them up.
