I don't marinade my chicken very often, but I have been thinking about starting to. I am not sure what kind of marinade to use and how long to marinate if for. What are your favorite marinades for chicken? How long do you let it marinate for?

My son-in-law gave me this idea. I marinated my boneless chicken in some Italian Dressing for a few hours and then cooked it on my George Forman Grill. It turned out really good and easy to make.

I might have to try that one. I have Italian dressing, boneless chicken, and a George Foreman Grill.

My hubby likes lemon pepper marinade. I could go for a sweeter BBQ type marinade. Either is good if used for a few hours. But usually we put it on the fridge and let it "soak" over night. Makes for very tender chicken.

I think I would like BBQ better than lemon pepper.

Hi Lilybug, we prefer either spicy or saltish marinades; so I would usually use black pepper sauce or curry powder or a mixture of black soya and oyster sauce. I add in chopped ginger and garlic as well. It doesn't take long; I usually let it stand for an hour or so, before I bake or steam the marinated chicken.

You can marinate any were from 30 minuets to 24 hours depending on how much time You have, but if longer than an hour You should keep it in the fridge. Teriaki is great if You are in the mood for something Oriental. Or sweet and sour, use some vinegar, ketchup, and sugar. Use BarBque sauce. Or just a brine can work wonders, Cover Chicken with water and depending on how much You have Add more or less, A tablespoon each of salt and Accent flavor enhancer.
