Hot Links On A Stick Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a large grill pan over high heat until almost smoking.
• Put the hot links split-side down on one side of the grill pan and grill over medium-high heat until some char marks appear, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, brush the other side of the grill pan with canola oil. Add the onions and grill, tossing with tongs occasionally, until softened and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the garlic, paprika, cayenne and cloves to the onions and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
• Reduce the heat to low. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, 1/3 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently to make sure the bottom doesn't burn, until tender, 15 minutes.
• Put the buns, split-side down, on the grill pan and grill until lightly toasted, 30 seconds per side.
• Serve the hot links in the toasted buns, smothered with the barbecued onions.

Steps:

• Heat oil in deep fryer to 365 degrees F. In a large bowl mix together 1 cup flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, red peppers and baking soda. Make a well into the center of mixture and add bacon drippings, beaten egg, buttermilk and hot pepper sauce. Mix well. Pour batter into tall glass or cup.
• Rinse hot links, pat dry. Place into bag with flour coat remove excessive flour place on stick and dip into batter (remove with a twisting motion) Shake of excess.
• Deep fry a few at a time being careful not to let them touch. Remove when browned. Drain on paper towel. May be kept in a warm oven until ready to serve (no longer than 15 minutes). Serve with mustard and ketchup.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Turn out the pizza dough onto a cutting board. Flatten the dough and press out the bubbles. Pull the dough into a rectangle roughly the size of a sheet of notebook paper. Dump out the wing sauce into the center of dough, and use a spoon or cake server to evenly spread the sauce all over the dough.
• Cut the sauced dough in half the short way, then cut each half further into 3 even strips. Grab the ends of one strip and fold the sauce side over onto itself, twirling the dough strip into a tube so the hot sauce is inside and the white dough is on the outside.
• Transfer the dough twirls to a cookie sheet, making sure they do not overlap. Bake on the center rack of the oven until browned but still soft inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cut in half, pile onto a serving tray, and serve with your favorite blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.

Steps:

• If you're using sausage casings, the day before you plan to stuff the sausage, rinse the casings under cold water inside and out. Prepare a solution of 1 cup water to 1 capful of cider vinegar. Soak the casings in the solution overnight.
• In a large bowl, mix the pork with the garlic, sage, parsley, salt, fennel, oregano, thyme, pepper, and cayenne. Stir. If using casings, mix in the ice water if the meat mixture is too dry to stuff into the casings.
• Stuff the sausage mixture into the casings or make into loaves, sticks, or patties. If you're making sticks, links, or logs, it helps to use plastic wrap to form the meat into the desired shape. Hang stuffed casings for at least an hour in a cool, dry place and then refrigerate at least overnight but for no more than 5 days before using. Sticks, links, or logs can be cooked immediately.
• You can fry, smoke, or grill the sausage as desired.
