Thanksgiving meal: Honey-glazed saté chicken

Like many people, we're having a smaller Thanksgiving this year, but that doesn't mean you can't have a delicious centerpiece bird.  Try this mouthwatering roast chicken with a honey-saté glaze, to pair with all your favorite Thanksgiving side dishes. Bon appetit!

Ingredients:

  • ½ tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce

  • Salt
  • Honey
  • Extra light olive oil

Instructions

  1. Wash the chicken, cut along the breast to flatten (spatchcock) the chicken.
  2. Rub salt on the chicken, including under the wings and on the inside. Set aside for 15-20 mins. Then lightly wash the salted chicken and set aside.
  3. Make the marinade by combing Tiger Saté, fish sauce, sugar and five spice powder.

There's nothing like firing up the grill in the summertime.  With Labor Day coming up, try this pairing of grilled ribs and portabellas, sure to please carnivores and vegetarians alike.

Spicy shrimp skewers

I brought this dish to a Fourth of July get-together, and they were gone within minutes.  These shrimp are flavorful and spicy, and a great, easy-to-make appetizer for gatherings.

Ingredients:

  • 4 lbs of headless shrimp
  • 1 1/2 tbsp of salt
  • 1/2 cup Tiger Saté (medium)
  • 1 bunch of Vietnamese coriander/laksa leaves (optional)
  • Lemon chili sauce for dipping (optional)

 Instructions:

  1. Wash and peel the shrimp (leaving the shell just on the tail).
  2. Marinate the shrimp with salt and Tiger Saté for 20 minutes.
  3. Skewer the shrimp (2-3 on a skewer).
  4. Shave some butter on the shrimp.
  5. Grill the shrimp for 5-7 minutes. (Broiling also works if you don’t have a grill.)
  6. Serve with Vietnamese coriander and lemon chili dipping sauce.

Saté salmon

This quick and easy recipe makes a great light summer meal.  Tiger Saté adds a flavorful punch, while the soy-lime marinade adds a lightness to the salmon that makes it a great accompaniment to rice and salad.

  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp Tiger Saté (to taste)

  1. Wash the salmon, pat dry, and set aside
  2. Combine soy sauce, sugar and lime juice, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Marinate the salmon in the this marinade for 15-20 mins. Do not discard the marinade.
  3. Pan-sear the salmon on low heat with extra light olive oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Set salmon aside.
  4. Deglaze the pan with the reserved marinade. Add 1-2 teaspoons Tiger Saté to taste. Pour about half of this sauce over the salmon, to taste.
  5. Serve with steamed rice and mixed greens.
