Prepare the Marinade

Finely chop the fresh thyme, sage, and rosemary, removing the leaves from the stems, and add them to the mixture. Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. -

Marinate the Sausage
Take the sausages and remove the casing. Using a skewer, gently pierce the sausages in the center, ensuring they can be easily handled on the grill.
Place the sausages in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Brush the sausages to ensure they are completely coated with the marinade.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. -
Prepare the Skewers
Once the sausages are marinated, retrieve them from the refrigerator. Take a slice of smoked bacon and wrap it around each sausage, securing them tightly.
Continue this process for all the sausages, ensuring each is neatly wrapped in bacon. Place the wrapped sausages onto a grill pan or baking tray lined with parchment paper to catch the rendered fat during cooking. -
Cook the Skewers
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Brush the bacon-wrapped sausages with the remaining marinade to keep them moist and flavorful as they cook.
Grill or roast the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sausages are cooked through, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. -
Serve and Enjoy
Once the skewers are done, remove them from the heat and serve immediately while still hot. These sausage and bacon skewers are perfect for any gathering or as a hearty main course, paired with your favorite side dishes.
Enjoy the smoky, savory combination of sausage and bacon, complemented by the sweetness of honey and the tang of Dijon mustard. The herbs infuse a fresh, aromatic note that balances perfectly with the richness of the meat. These skewers are bound to be a hit at your next meal!
This recipe is ideal for anyone craving a flavorful and satisfying dish that combines simple ingredients for maximum taste. It’s perfect for grilling season, and the marinade ensures the sausages are tender and full of flavor.
