How long should you marinate chicken for?

Question:

I made my own marinate. And I am not sure how long I should keep the chicken in it.

Answer:
30 mins to a day. more you marinate better it is. you can also keep marinate in pan and cook too. yummy!

If it is an oil based marinade it will need more marinating time. Otherwise 1/2 to 1 hour might do.

Try a marinade of :
lemon juice and butter and sauteed fresh ginger root next time. Then grill the chicken on the grill. YUUUUUMMMM

30 minutes in the fridge for a minimum, half a day is OK. Then, let it warm to nearly room temp right before cooking.

At least overnight. :)

i find thaqt chicken gets a bit chewey and rubbery when marinated for too long. i ususally do mine for about half an hour to an hour
