Over night marinade
Of course, marinating your chicken over night will definitely make you chicken flavourful and more tender too. We’d definitely recommend you prepare that one day before you put it in the oven! This will also prevent that you have to do too many things on the day itself.
Otherwise, try to marinate the chicken for at least 2-5hrs before putting it in the oven.
