Every time I go to a local Coney Island, I comment how good their chicken is. One time I inquired about their marinade and the waitress told me they use olive oil and a few other things and they marinate overnight. So today I did a search on the internet and got the following marinade that sounds pretty much like what the waitress described:
4-6 chicken breasts
1 cup olive oil
4 tsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp crushed oregano
2 garlic cloves
My questions are:
What do you think in general about this marinade. Is there something obvious that you think it needs - understanding I am okay with keeping it simple?
The recipe calls for the chicken to marinate for 2 hours. The waitress said overnight (much longer). What do you think about leaving the chicken in the marinade for that long?
Any other comments or suggestions to get moist, flavorful, chicken breast. Note, I've tried brining and was not that impressed.
Thanks.
