Corny Hotlink Bites Recipes

HOT LINKS

Steps:

• Preheat a large grill pan over high heat until almost smoking.
• Put the hot links split-side down on one side of the grill pan and grill over medium-high heat until some char marks appear, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, brush the other side of the grill pan with canola oil. Add the onions and grill, tossing with tongs occasionally, until softened and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the garlic, paprika, cayenne and cloves to the onions and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
• Reduce the heat to low. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, 1/3 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently to make sure the bottom doesn't burn, until tender, 15 minutes.
• Put the buns, split-side down, on the grill pan and grill until lightly toasted, 30 seconds per side.
• Serve the hot links in the toasted buns, smothered with the barbecued onions.
