Notes
Use bag clips: If you choose to prep the chicken in large freezer bags, I highly recommend using bag clips since you can attach the bags to the clips, dump the chicken and marinade in without fumbling around trying to keep the bags open.
Don't reuse the marinade: Although tempting, don't try to reuse the marinades for your next batch of chicken. The marinade has been exposed to the raw chicken, and is therefore contaminated and not safe to reuse.
Marinating time: I like to marinate the chicken overnight (or longer) to get the maximum flavor before cooking. However, if I need to get a meal on the table ASAP, I'll usually just marinate the chicken for 30 minutes to an hour.
