Join the discussionIt is never a good idea to use marinade to baste meat while cooking. In fact, the USDA now recommends that marinade be discarded instead of being cooked down to make a sauce, as wellIf your sausages are pre-cooked, you are probably okay, but if not, this can be very risky. Putting raw meat juices on partially cooked meat can be very risky. Just because it’s above a fire doesn’t mean that it will get hot enough to kill bacteria. Lots of rare steaks are served every day, and they’re still cold in the middle, despite being on the grill for several minutes on each side!
Chicken sausage is generally precooked but if you still don’t feel comfortable basting with the marinade, you could always set aside a portion of the marinade just for basting before you add the sausage to marinate.
