Roadside chicken marinating advice please

[Sunil Patel]

Ok peeps, gonna do 4 legs of rsc tomorrow night for dinner. Should i marinate tonight and remove early in the morning as dont want to leave them for the 12+ hours that would pass from leaving the house jtomorrow morning and getting back in the evening as i fear that might be too long having read all of the 63 or so paged thread

Thank you

I thought about the same thing. I ended up just waking up and marinading them then.

Like Bryan's original 2005 post: I recommend getting it in the marinade 2 to 8 hrs prior to cooking leaving the oil out of the marinade. (Prep another batch with the oil for the basting sauce.) If you're like me, 8 hrs out probably puts you in the AM before you leave for work. If so, you can pre mix the marinade the night before, then when you're making coffee in the AM, chunk the chicken in the marinade.

short marinade is fine, most of the flavor comes from the basting
