Our Grilled Chicken Sausages Recipe Gets Extra Flavor With Quick-Pickled Onions
If you’re not a fan of regular hot dogs, don’t worry — make this recipe for Grilled Chicken Sausages instead. The chicken sausages are grilled until they’re deeply browned and heated throughout. Once cooked, each sausage is piled onto a soft hoagie roll with crunchy coleslaw and homemade pickled red onions. While pickling vegetables is usually time-consuming, our quick-pickled onions come together in minutes using just 4 ingredients. This makes them the perfect complement to these smoky delights that get the right amount of crunch from the slaw.
While this recipe uses chicken sausages, you can substitute a turkey variety for less fat or pork for extra juiciness. Also, for even more flavor, swap brown sugar for the granulated kind when preparing the pickled onions. To make serving a breeze, try creating a spread with the grilled meat, rolls and toppings so guests can build their own loaded sausage!
