These Spicy Sriracha Hasselback Kielbasa Bites are a flavorful and easy-to-make appetizer featuring tender, air-fried kielbasa slices brushed with a creamy, spicy Sriracha mayo. Perfect for parties or quick snacks, these bites combine smoky sausage with zesty lime-infused sauce for a delicious kick.

Ingredients

Kielbasa

  • 2 rings (13.9 ounces each) Kielbasa

Spicy Sriracha Mayo Sauce

  • ¾ cup (174 g) mayonnaise
  • 4 ½ teaspoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice the Kielbasa: Place the kielbasa between two chopsticks or skewers to prevent slicing all the way through. Using a sharp knife, make ¼-inch deep slices downward along the sausage, creating a hasselback effect.
  2. Cut into Bite-Sized Pieces: Slice the partially cut kielbasa crosswise into 1-inch pieces, each containing about 3 rings, resulting in roughly 20 bites per kielbasa ring or 40 bites total.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and freshly squeezed lime juice until smooth and well combined to create the spicy sriracha mayo.
  4. Brush the Kielbasa: Brush about half of the spicy mayo sauce over the hasselback kielbasa bites, ensuring you get the sauce between each cut section. Reserve the remaining sauce in the refrigerator for after cooking or dipping.
  5. Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the kielbasa bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Air Fry the Bites: Cook at 400°F for 7-9 minutes until the kielbasa bites are browned and crispy on the edges. Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even frying.
  7. Serve: Remove the kielbasa bites from the air fryer and place them on a platter. Optionally brush the tops with the reserved spicy mayo or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Using chopsticks or skewers while slicing prevents cutting through the sausage completely, maintaining the hasselback shape.
  • Cook the bites in batches if your air fryer basket is small to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha to taste depending on your spice preference.
  • These bites can be served warm or at room temperature, making them great for gatherings.
  • Leftover spicy mayo sauce can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
