See What Happened When A Top Chef Winner Tried Shan Foods Cooking Sauces

Is there such a thing as too much barbecue? For at least eight months of the year, the answer is a resounding ‘no.’ The sizzling sounds as flames lick away at the meat, the flare ups as flames rise to hungrily consume drips of grease and the tantalizing smells wafting through nearby backyards. It doesn’t get much better than barbecue season.

But it can be easy to get stuck in a grilling rut, buying the same cuts of meat, using the same rubs and marinades, sticking with the same sauces.

If you love to grill but are tired of making the same barbecue chicken, steaks and pork chops, you need to take a virtual visit to Backyard Blais. The good news is that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel to change up your barbecue game. All you really need are some new sauces and marinades to spice things up.

Chef Richard Blais is no stranger to culinary adventure. As the winner of Top Chef: All-Stars, the celebrity chef has a lot of experience using new and exotic ingredients to develop delicious twists on classic American dishes.

So what does the celebrity chef suggest for your backyard grill? Barbecued wings and chicken thighs…with a twist. (Warning: that twist includes Shan Foods’ mouth-watering BBQ Cooking Sauces, a flamethrower and a sword). Simply marinate your meat, cook and serve. It’s that easy!

“These are some of my favourite flavours,” says chef Blais. “(But they are) difficult to master, so I’m letting Shan Foods help me out today. As these spice blends require a lot of experience and nuance, so I’m going to let Shan Foods do most of the heavy lifting…”

First, chef Blais marinates his chicken wings in Shan Foods’ Chicken Tikka Cooking Sauce.

“You can see that brilliant colour in there,” says Blais. “The fragrance of all of these spices and this is going to take our wings to the next level.”

Then he marinates his chicken thighs in Shan Foods’ Tandoori Cooking Sauce — one of his “favourite spice blends of all time”.

“Known for that bright super super fragrant colour,” says chef Blais. “Also known for a bit of spice.”

The next step involves a flamethrower, a sword and a tiny Japanese grill. Chef Blais likes to skewer his chicken thighs on a sword and cook in a charcoal smoker. Did we mention that he also likes to ignite his smoker with a flamethrower? He then cooks his wings over a Japanese binchotan (charcoal) grill.

The results?

The chicken wings ended up beautifully caramelized on the outside and tender on the inside, thanks to the marinade.

And the chicken thighs?

“You can see my chicken tandoori is looking super super red and lucious and smells sweet and spicy,” says chef Blais. “This is like your buffalo chicken wings to like the next level.”

“Chicken tandoori thighs on a sword. That’s going to be super super delicious.”

How can Energy Audits inform your Net Zero Strategy?

Image
Many organisations are already in the habit of undertaking energy audits to highlight where energy and water efficiencies can be made, save on utility costs, and reduce carbon emissions. Unfortunately, the sad reality of many energy audits and surveys (especially ones that are completed for compliance with ESOS), is that once they are completed, the report is often tucked away into a ‘virtual’ drawer, never to be seen again. But what if there was another use for that forgotten energy audit? Did you know that it could actually be a really useful business tool to help get you started on your net zero journey? To help you harness that data in a practical way, Energy Services Analyst, Rhiannon Farquhar explains what makes energy audits so essential to carbon management and how they can be used to get your business on the path to net zero. So, what are energy audits? To put it simply, an energy audit is an assessment of the energy needs and efficiency of a building (or process), which

Garden Offices | The Ultimate Work from Home Solution for 2021

The Pros and Cons of Working from Home Working from home was not so long ago considered a perk of the job, however, the much-longed-for 30-second commute, for many of us, has finally become a realisation. Prior to the global pandemic, we would have spent 492 days of our lives commuting to and from work and inevitably, Covid-19 has brought about a catalyst of change. Businesses are now seeing the benefits of reducing costs by giving up office spaces, and with commuting now significantly reduced, one of the biggest winners out of this situation is the environment. With this in mind, there’s no doubt that the “new normal” of home working is, quite clearly, here to stay. The general consensus is that working from home is wholly positive and can provide a better work-life balance. Whilst this is true, there is evidence to suggest that this can be quite the opposite, with staff working later than usual as they battle to “switch-off” when their working day is over. So, what’s the solutio

Forgiveness Plan Would Remove One-Third of Students’ Loan Debt

Image
About one in three Idahoans who have federal student-loan debt would see it erased entirely if the Biden administration goes forward with a $10,000 forgiveness plan. That’s according to analysis from the website Student Loan Hero . President Joe Biden is considering eliminating the debt through executive order. Andrew Pentis, a senior writer and certified student loan counselor at Student Loan Hero, said the average monthly loan repayment in Idaho is $274. “Whether you have more or less than $10,000 worth of student loans left to repay, this dose of forgiveness would be hugely helpful, in either getting rid of your debt or shrinking it considerably,” said Pentis. “So certainly, if you’re a borrower in Idaho, you’d be rooting for something like this to happen.” The Trump administration paused federal student loan repayments in March 2020 during the pandemic. Biden extended the pause on his first day in office through at least October 1. Some Democrats want the Biden administration
