Blazin’ BBQ Smokehouse Pigs in a Blanket

Allergens

Wheat (in the pastry dough)

Ingredients

• 24 frozen pigs in a blanket (hot dog pieces wrapped in pastry dough)
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or outdoor smoker to medium heat (around 350°F / 175°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
3. Place the pigs in a blanket onto a grill safe tray or directly on the grill grates, leaving enough space between each to prevent sticking and uneven cooking.
4. Brush the tops of the pigs in a blanket with the BBQ sauce mixture, reserving some for later.
5. Close the lid of the grill or smoker and cook for 6 8 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
6. Remove from the heat, brush with remaining BBQ sauce mixture, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
7. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the sizzling, smoky, crowd pleasing taste!
