Marinated chicken

Marinated chicken recipes are some of the most popular chicken recipes around, and there’s a good reason for that. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also super easy to make.

Marinated chicken can be traced back to ancient times, when people would marinate their chicken in things like vinegar, oil, and herbs. This not only helped to tenderize the chicken, but it also added a lot of flavor.

These days, there are endless possibilities when it comes to marinating chicken. You can use just about any combination of ingredients that you like, and you can even buy premade marinades at the store.

Advice

When making marinated chicken, it is important to use a marinade that is flavorful and has enough acidity to tenderize the chicken. Make sure to marinate the chicken for several hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture. When cooking, it's also important to use an accurate thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to the right internal temperature. Finally, be sure to let the chicken rest before serving so that the juices are not lost and the chicken is juicy and tender.
