Can you grill sausages?

Sausages are a staple of any barbecue party or backyard cookout. However, many people often wonder if they can grill sausages and get them right. The answer is YES! Grilled sausages can be amazing and mouth-watering. But before we dive into grilling some tasty sausages, let’s first understand what we are dealing with.

Understanding your sausage

The first step to grilling perfect sausages starts with selecting the right type of sausage. Sausage comes in different varieties, each with its unique flavor and cooking method that suits it best.

Types of sausages

There are several types of sausages available such as:

  • Bratwursts
  • Italian sausage
  • Chorizo
  • Andouille

Each type has a specific taste profile and seasoning blend that makes them unique from one another.

Fresh vs fully cooked

Another consideration when deciding which type to purchase includes whether the sausage is fresh or fully cooked. Fresh signifies raw meat required an internal temperature check while being grilled; fully cooked means the meat inside the casing is precooked but needs heating while on the grill.

Once you’ve selected your preferred type of sausage, let’s go ahead to fire up that grill for some finger licking good lunch/dinner!
