Does it get any easier than cocktail sausages? Loved by all ages and easy to throw together, there is no better crowd pleaser for a festive party and these sticky cocktail sausages have long been a favourite at any of our Christmas gatherings.
As we make a slow return to the Christmas parties of former years, our plan is to leave behind the stress and panic and truly enjoy celebrating the time with loved ones.
We want to minimize our time in the kitchen and maximize our time hugging, laughing and being merry. This cocktail sausage recipe is the first step on that journey.

The nuttiness of the sesame seeds along with the heat of the chili and sweetness of honey creates a perfectly balanced bite.
And the fact that these only take minutes to prepare while making you look like a culinary god or goddess is just the cocktail stick on top of a delicious Christmas canape.
Now, while you could absolutely use uncooked cocktail sausages here, roast them in the oven and then follow the steps below, we see no need in making more work for ourselves. Pre-cooked cocktail sausages work perfectly, just ensure they are piping hot throughout when reheating them and you will have a cocktail sausage recipe that is truly the work of minutes.
