Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes until smooth and glossy.
- Place one link of kielbasa on a cutting board. Lay two chopsticks on each side of the sausage to prevent the knife from cutting all the way through. Slice the sausage into 1/8-inch slits, ensuring it remains connected at the bottom.
- Cut the hasselback kielbasa into 1-inch to 1.5-inch pieces. Place the pieces in a bowl and pour half of the glaze over them. Toss gently to coat.
- Arrange the kielbasa bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they aren’t touching. Bake for 15-20 minutes, brushing the remaining glaze over the bites halfway through.
- Once done, remove the bites from the oven. Transfer them to a platter and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm with toothpicks for easy serving.
