BBQ sausages – FAQs: 

How long to BBQ sausages? 

Usually about 10-15 minutes on a BBQ grill, however the exact time can vary based on their size and thickness. Thinner sausages like chipolata sausages may take closer to 8-10 minutes, whilst larger varieties like jumbo sausages may need 15-20 minutes to cook thoroughly. For even cooking, turn the sausages every few minutes to avoid burning. Start them over indirect heat to allow the inside to cook gently, then finish over direct heat for a perfect grilled char. For accuracy, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of at least 75°C for chicken or 70°C for pork and beef.

How do I store and reheat leftover BBQ sausages?

When storing leftover BBQ sausages, you show allow them to cool down, then put them in an airtight container and refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking. This way they will stay fresh for up to 2-3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months, when they’re well sealed.

When you’re reheating, make sure they’re piping hot all the way through. You can reheat them in the oven (180°C for about 10–15 minutes), in a frying pan over medium heat, or in the microwave. Always avoid reheating more than once, as this might affect both taste and food safety. Following these steps will keep your leftover BBQ sausages delicious and safe to enjoy.

Can you BBQ frozen sausages? 

Grilling sausages from frozen could lead to even cooking, so we don’t recommend this method for the best results. With the outside charring before the inside is cooked, this can be a safety risk, especially with pork or chicken sausages.

For the best results, we recommend allowing time for your sausages to defrost overnight in the fridge before barbecuing. This means the meat can cook evenly and retain flavour and juice.

How do I stop sausages from sticking to the grill? 

Preparing your grill and meat properly, is essential for preventing sticking. Ensure your grill grates are clean, and no residue remains as this can be a big factor that causes sticking. You should always preheat the grill thoroughly, as this helps to sear the meat and prevent sticking. You can also lightly oil the grates or brush a thin layer over the sausages as this adds a barrier between the meat and the grill. Allow your meat to sear properly before flipping, as turning too soon can cause the casing to tear and stick.

Should I pierce sausages before grilling? 

You should avoid piercing sausages before grilling, as it lets the natural juices and fats leave the sausage. This means a dry, flavourless result, making them overall low quality and texture. Despite worries of your sausages splitting, at The Village Butchers, our BBQ sausages are crafted with well-balanced casings that hold up heat without splitting. You should cook them over a moderate heat and avoid exposing them to overly high flames, as well as turning them regularly.

Ultimately, keeping the casing intact helps sausages to retain their moisture and flavour, delivering that perfect juicy bite every time. For best BBQ results, skip the fork and let the sausages cook slowly and evenly without interference.

What’s the best way to serve BBQ sausages? 

As a versatile meat, they can be served in a variety of tasty ways. For a classic BBQ favourite, serve them with toasted buns, grilled onions, mustard, ketchup, or relish for a crowd pleaser. For something different, you could slice them up and add into pasta, rice, or salad dishes to add a smoky, savoury twist. They work wonderfully in a full BBQ spread alongside coleslaw, grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, potato salad, or garlic bread for a hearty feast. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just enjoying a relaxed evening meal, don’t forget a selection of sauces to enhance the flavour even further.
