It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Beer-Dipped Potato Breaded Chicken
- add review
- #109320
Marinating the chicken pieces in beer helps to tenderize the meat and keep it moist. The combination of potato flakes and flour give the fried chicken a delicious and crunchy coating. The oil in the deep fryer should be at 360 degrees for optimal results.

ingredients
3 1/2 pounds fryer-broiler chicken, cut up and skin removed
1 bottle (12 ounce size) dark beer
2 cups instant mashed potato flakes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
oil, for frying
directions
Place the chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag or other sealable container. Add the dark beer and let the chicken marinate (turning occasionally) for 2-3 hours.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 360 degrees F.
Combine the potato flakes, flour, salt, pepper, and lemon pepper in a shallow dish. Remove the chicken from the beer and dip into the potato mixture, coating on all sides. Place the chicken in the deep fryer and cook until browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oil and let drain on paper toweling. Serve hot.

reviews & comments
It states to place chicken in marinade but theres no recipe for the marinade.
It says "Place the cut up fryer in the dark beer to marinate for 2-3 hours." The beer is the marinade.

The beer makes the chicken amazingly moist and tender. The potato flakes make for a crunchy but light coating. Outstanding!
