Ingredients

2 16 ounce packages little smokies
1 cup bbq sauce
1 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1-2 tablespoons chili sauce or sambal oelek optional

Instructions

Crock Pot - add the little smokies to the crock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients to the crock pot and stir to combine. Cover and heat on low for 2 hours.
Stovetop - add the little smokies to a skillet. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. Cook over low heat until the little smokies are glazed and warmed through or for about 20 minutes.
Oven - add the little smokies to a baking dish. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. Bake in a 350-degree preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until glazed and heated through.

Notes

I like to use a Kansas City-style BBQ sauce with lots of spice and flavor, but you can use any BBQ sauce.
Little smokies are available in several flavors, including beef, chicken and pork, turkey, and Polish smoked sausage. Our favorite is the chicken and pork, but they all taste good in this recipe.
The chili sauce is optional but highly recommended. It gives the sauce a much-needed kick but is not overly spicy. The sweetness of the brown sugar and BBQ sauce tames it. Sriracha or hot sauce works as a good substitute.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave at reduced power.
