How Long to Marinate Chicken
When you are marinating chicken you want to marinate it for at least a half hour. The longer it is marinated, the more the flavor gets into the chicken, the better it tastes. I like to marinate overnight. That is as long as I think about it beforehand. A lot of times, I get absentminded and forget to do it the day before.
