These Slow Cooker Spicy Sriracha Kielbasa Bites are the ultimate sweet-and-spicy appetizer. Juicy kielbasa simmers in a bold sauce made with Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, and ginger, creating irresistible bite-sized pieces perfect for game day, parties, or easy entertaining. Just set it and let the slow cooker do the work.
Ingredients
2 pounds kielbasa, sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 cup Sriracha sauce
½ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup rice vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
Place the sliced kielbasa in the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger until smooth.
Pour the sauce evenly over the kielbasa, stirring gently to coat all pieces.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even flavor distribution.
Once heated through and fully coated in sauce, switch the slow cooker to WARM.
Serve directly from the slow cooker or transfer to a serving dish.
Variations & Tips
Milder version: Reduce the Sriracha or replace it with a milder hot sauce.
Sweet & spicy twist: Add 1 cup pineapple chunks for a tropical flavor balance.
Smoky flavor: Stir in 1 teaspoon smoked paprika for extra depth.
Protein swap: Substitute chicken or tofu for kielbasa—adjust cooking time as needed.
Thicker sauce: Remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to let the sauce reduce slightly.
