    I made a double batch of cookie dough and kept it in the fridge. I just sliced off however many I wanted to bake and i'd put them in the halogen oven. They were lovely. The dough lasted about 3 days until it was finished. I think you can slice them and freeze them and then bake them as and when needed.

    I tend to use more chicken than that when I make it for OH, but he doesn't have any salad with it. I still use the same amound of marinade though, leave it overnight as suggested so it really takes in the flavour.

  • I am planning to make the southern fried chicken for dinner tonight which it suggests you deep fry until cooked.

    I would like to cook the chicken another way so that it is only deep-fried for the minimum amount of time for the coating (or maybe baked??). Has anyone tried poaching/baking the chicken with successful results?

    I always oven cook the chicken - it's not quite the same as if it was deep fried but is still really tasty with no grease which I prefer. I put them in at 180 for about 25-30 minutes I think.

    I shallow fry for a short time to get the oil on the outside and a crispiness. Then I shove it on a rack in the oven to finish cooking it and lets the excess fat drip off.

    I haven't been as inspired by the second book as I was by the first but I do prefer the mediterranean doner in the 2nd book. The first was good but this is even better!
