Ingredients
- 1 lb kielbasa sausage
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the kielbasa slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Remove the slices from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, pour the brown sugar and soy sauce mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the glaze cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Return the browned kielbasa slices to the skillet. Toss the slices gently in the glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Simmer the kielbasa slices in the glaze for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and clings to the sausage.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and let the candied kielbasa cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve the candied kielbasa warm as an appetizer or add toothpicks for easy serving at parties.
