Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Slice each hot link diagonally halfway through at 1-inch intervals to help them crisp.
Step 2
Add links to the hot skillet without oil. Sear 3 minutes per side until the cuts blister and the casing chars.
Step 3
Push links to the side. Add onion slices to the cleared space and cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden.
Step 4
Sprinkle chili powder over the onions. Stir to coat, then cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in vinegar, brown sugar, and hot sauce. Toss everything to coat and cook 1 minute until glossy.
Step 6
Serve immediately while hot links are still juicy and onions are caramelized.
