Ingredients
Method
On a gas or charcoal grill, arrange sausages over the unheated grates (what we call the “indirect heat zone”). On a pellet grill, place sausages anywhere over the lowest grates. Close the lid and cook for 15 minutes, or until sausages reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
If you’re using a gas or charcoal grill, you can place the sausages over the direct heat zone, turning often, for one to three minutes, until browned.
Plate ‘em up and serve!

The Secret to Perfect Grilled Sausage
Grilling sausage is about patience. Too much heat too fast and the casings burst, sending all those flavorful juices onto the coals. Low and slow cooking keeps sausages plump and juicy, then a quick sear over high heat locks in flavor and gives you that crave-worthy char.
With Kountry Boys Sausage, you’re starting with bold, hickory-smoked links that already pack flavor. All you’re doing is grilling them the right way to make them shine.
How to Serve Grilled Sausage
Grilled sausage plays well with just about everything:
- On a bun – Load into fresh rolls with mustard, onions and peppers
- Texas-style plate – Serve alongside potato salad, beans and cornbread
- Tailgate snack – Slice into bite-sized pieces and serve with toothpicks
- Family dinner – Pair with roasted veggies or mac n’ cheese for a quick weeknight meal
Flavor Variations
- Buffalo Style – Brush sausages with buffalo sauce before the final sear
- Sweet Heat – Glaze with honey and chili flakes for a sticky finish
- Tex-Mex Twist – Top with pico de gallo, avocado slices and jalapeños
- BBQ Classic – Slather with barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of cooking
Tips for the Best Results
- Always cook sausages over indirect heat first to keep casings intact
- Use a thermometer — 160°F is the sweet spot for doneness
- Don’t pierce the sausages — it lets juices escape
- Finish with a quick sear for color and flavor
- Rest sausages a couple minutes before slicing or serving
