Lil Smokies sausages are wrapped in bacon, baked until golden brown and glazed with BBQ sauce for a sweet savory appetizer that's sure to be the first to disappear at your next party.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and arrange on the baking sheet seam side down.
Bake, turning several times, for about 40 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and brown.
Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler. Brush the bacon-wrapped little smokies all over with barbecue sauce. Return to oven and broil for about 1 minute, until barbecue sauce bubbles.
Remove to a wire rack and cool on pan for at least 5 minutes. Skewer with toothpicks, arrange on a tray and serve.
