# Expert Hints:
01 -
- Brushing sausages with homemade sauce gives you the sticky-sweet smoky crust you always crave at BBQ joints.
- Cleanup is minimal and you can pull this off for a hungry crowd with very little fuss.
02 -
- If you try to rush the grilling, the sausages will split and lose all their juice in a flash.
- Adding the sauce only at the end keeps it from burning and gives just the right sticky finish.
03 -
- If you marinate the sausages in some of the BBQ sauce for half an hour, the flavor goes all the way through.
- Baste only near the end to avoid burnt sugar and keep your grill clean-ups to a minimum.
