Guessing doneness is for rookies. Get a meat thermometer. 160°F is the magic number for pork and beef.
Chicken sausages need 165°F. That’s non-negotiable. Don’t eat pink bird guts.
Insert the probe from the end. Avoid the casing. You want the center, not the edges.
The Boil vs. Grill Debate
Some people boil brats in beer first. This is a controversial tactic. Purists hate it. But it works.
Boiling pre-cooks the inside. Then you just grill for color. It’s safe and easy. Just don’t tell a grill snob.
If you boil, use good beer. Never cheap lager. Your sausage deserves better.
