Hot link is AAVE and Southern US slang for a type of spicy, heavily-seasoned sausage — a staple of Black Southern cuisine and barbecue culture. Typically made from pork and loaded with chilli pepper, cayenne, and other bold spices, hot links are a fixture at cookouts, in Creole cooking, and on soul food menus. The term is also used in Houston hip-hop culture as a cultural touchstone. Not to be confused with the computing term 'hyperlink.'
He threw a dozen hot links on the grill before the guests arrived and the smell drew everyone outside immediately.
