How Long Should I Marinade My Chicken In Vinegar?
Marinade the chicken for at least four hours. Ideally you will want to marinade up to 12 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
You could add the chicken to the marinade in the morning for grilling that night. Or start marinating your chicken before going to bed and grill the next day.
Just keep in mind that you don’t want to marinate your chicken for too long. After a while, the chicken can become too soft and the vinegar taste too strong for your liking.
Why Use Vinegar to Marinate Chicken?
Vinegar is used to tenderize the meat and soften the protein.
Worcestershire sauce is also used in this marinade recipe, which is also a great meat tenderizer.
