Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat a charcoal grill until coals are glowing and covered with white ash, about 20 minutes.

    Place the sausage on the grill over medium-high heat, away from direct flames.

  4. Step 4

    Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, turning once, until browned and cooked through.

    Season with salt and pepper while grilling, if desired.
