These Glazed Apple Chicken Sausage Bites are one of my favorite appetizers to whip up because of how quick it is! Sweet chicken sausage smothered in a sauteed onion glaze, they are always a guest favorite!

Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 12 oz. package Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage (I like Al Fresco brand)
¼ Cup Olive Oil
1 Medium Sweet Yellow Onion (Coarsely chopped)
½ tablespoon Cornstarch
1 Cup Chicken Stock
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
3 tablespoon Chopped Dill (or parsley)
Salt to taste*

Instructions

Slice sausage into ½ inch rounds and saute in half of the olive oil (2-3 tbsp) over medium high heat. They are already cooked so all you want is to get some nice color on them. *Saute in 2 batches so your pan is not overly crowded!
Remove sausage and turn down heat to medium/low. Add your onions to the same pan. (Do not clean pan.) Saute 7-10 minutes or until they soften.
To the onions, add cornstarch and whisk for a few seconds. Add your chicken stock and whisk until mixed. Bring to a strong simmer (about 1-2 minutes). Whisk in brown sugar and and pinch of salt before turning off heat. *If you do not find you have enough sauce, add a little more stock.
Add sausage and fresh herbs to the pan and coat in the sauce. Pour sausage onto serving plate and serve with skewers.
