Paula Deen, the bubbly Food Network star, has released her cookbook “Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible.” Known for her use of large amounts of butter in recipes, Deen offers a variety of southern comfort food guaranteed to please everyone.  (She doesn’t disappoint with her “Butter Burgers” or “Gooey Butter Cake.”)

In addition to her delicious recipes, Deen always focuses her attention on family.  Her cookbook contains recipes that you can’t help but imagine eating with your loved ones and enjoying a laugh.

Deen’s cookbook aims to mimic “The Joy of Cooking” with its textbook like nature but with a southern twist.  With few images, she sticks straight to the recipes, offering tips and time-saving tricks for the home cook.  With 325 recipes, this book is your go-to guide for southern food.  Check out this recipe for Paula Deen’s Best Ever Southern Fried Chicken, excerpted from her new cookbook, “Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible.”

I’m dieing to try this recipe for her fried chicken, which I’m sure, when paired with homemade biscuits, is the perfect weekend family meal.  Try it for dinner tonight!

Cucumber and Yoghurt Dip

A WHOLESOME FRY-UP

FairPrice Chicken Fingers are a healthy trans fat-free snack that everyone can enjoy

ANNETTE TAN, food@newstoday.com.sg

These FairPrice Chicken Fingers are a great snack for the whole family. And it can be part of a quick meal after a long day.

I put them in an oven (preheated to 180°C) for 20 minutes, and made a healthy yoghurt and cucumber dip as they cooked.

Then, it was simply a matter of tearing open a packet of soft tortillas, arranging the Chicken Fingers on them and smearing some of the dip on top. You can also add some bottled salsa for added kick.

You then roll up the tortillas and serve them with a green salad and more of the cucumber-yoghurt dressing on the side.

Conveniently, this dressing also works well as a quick and healthy dip to go with just the Chicken Fingers when friends drop by.

Being Halal, trans fat-free and made from lean chicken breasts, FairPrice Chicken Fingers are a snack that everyone can enjoy.

There is also a range of FairPrice Chicken Popcorn and FairPrice Chicken Fillet if you fancy your own fried chicken party.

FairPrice Chicken Fingers, Chicken Popcorn and Chicken Fillet ($6.50 per 500g packet) are available at all FairPrice supermarkets.

Cucumber and Yoghurt Dip

Serves 4

1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise and seeded

1 cup plain yoghurt

1/4 tsp coarse salt

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp fresh dill, minced

1. Grate the cucumber into a bowl and then squeeze the liquid out of it.

2. Transfer the cucumber to another bowl and mix with the rest of the ingredients. This is best served chilled, and can be made a day in advance and kept in the fridge.
