  1. 1 Place sausages into a large skillet over medium heat and pour in water. Add a large pinch of salt and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 3 minutes per side.
  2. 2 Remove sausages from the skillet and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. Insert a metal skewer the long way through each cooled sausage.
  3. 3 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Pour barbecue sauce into a small bowl.
  4. 4 Place a sausage on a work surface and start making a knife cut about 3/4 inch from the end, holding the knife blade at a slight angle and cutting down to the skewer. Slowly rotate the sausage and continue cutting in a spiral until sausage is cut to about 1 inch from the other end. Gently spread sausage apart on the skewer to create about 1/2 inch of space between the curls.
  5. 5 Place sausages onto the preheated grill and cook until browned and meat is no longer pink inside, about 6 minutes; turn occasionally.
  6. 6 Brush sausages with barbecue sauce using a pastry brush when sausages are nearly done. Cook, continuing to turn sausages, until sauce has caramelized onto the meat, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and let sausages cool for about 30 seconds before removing skewers for serving.
