Over marinated chicken

[richardhmc]

I left chicken in a sandwich bag marinating in lemon, garlic, spices, and olive oil.
It has been two days. Is it okay to still eat it? I don't want to waste food but I think I read somewhere marinating for too long is bad.

[cmurray]

no such thing bro...

^ I second this!

Just make sure it doesn't smell/look funny (spoiled), but two days should be no big deal. Raw chicken actually holds up pretty well in marinade when refrigerated.

I actually prefer to marinate chicken for at least 24-48 hours. It absorbs the flavors so well.

when refrigerated.

Long as you did this ^. If you left it out in the heat or anything, I'd think twice.

Yeah, I do 24 at least... 48 when I'm lazy and don't feel like cooking it the next day.

I usually make my own, but have you tried those Lawry's brand 30 minute marinades? The Caribbean Jerk one is money (bottle says 30 mins, I still do 24 hrs).

yeah, bro! Lawry's caribbean jerk is my staple marinade. So tasty!

Sometimes acids can cook your food a bit (ceviche, for instance). Just be aware it may cook a bit quicker now that it was marinating in a bit of acid. As long as it stayed cold, you'll be fine. It'll probably taste pretty darn good!

[richardhmc]

Fantastic.
Raw Chicken shouldn't smell like anything right?

What do you guy marinate your chicken with? I need more stuff other than olive oil, lemon, garlic, and pepper

[WonderPuggle]

48 hour marinated chicken is the best. DO NOT throw it out unless you're convinced its gone bad.

If you like spicy, lately I've been doing this.

Can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo, sauce as well.



I'd take out a few peppers first time so it's not too spicy and you can leave them all in later if you enjoy the heat.

Put it in a blender with some
Garlic (fresh if you have it)
Black Pepper
Cumin
Chili Powder
Oregano
Olive Oil (enough so that the concoction covers everything)
Maybe a hint of lime juice or orange juice (squeezed of course)

Right... but it's going to smell like marinade. Just as long as it doesn't smell rotten, you're fine.

Go out, buy this and marinate your chicken overnight. You can thank me in the morning.

If it pulls a knife on you when you open the bag, it's gone bad.

Will do. I'll let you know how it goes

Oh no I meant when I have a pack of unopened chicken breast. Because when I open my chicken breast, its a little bloody and smells a little funky. I get costco chicken breast by the way

Blood is ok... I guess if you really got your nose down in there, it would smell a little like dead chicken. I would say as long as you don't smell that spoiled meat smell (you would know), you're more than likely ok.

If you question it too much... return it to Costco.

Well, I ate the chicken that was marinating for 2 days came in at 18.8 oz.
When I ate it, it was very very soft... it kept making me think that it wasn't fully cooked even though it was. two days is too much imo.

There's gotta be a better way to eat this crap chicken... I never thought I could hate chicken so much. but then again, the only chicken I like is fried.

[Sqwivivol]

Two days will be fine man, as long as its been refrigerated. I marinade my chicken breasts bulk n have em in the fridge for up to 4 days, never a problem

If it was "soft" then yeah you probably didn't cook it enough and if you really dont like breast that bad, switch to (skinless, fat trimmed) thigh! Nothn wrong its just a little more fat, enjoy

I love chicken wings. those are the bomb haha but they barely have meat and Im not sure how well they do nutritionally.

What do you marinate your chicken with? What do you cook them on?

This marinade makes the tastiest grilled chicken.

Long drizzle of Olive Oil
Juice of one fresh lemon
Tablespoon of white vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Three tablespoons dried oregano
Three garlic cloves crushed

Marinate a couple hours (if you go longer the texture of the chicken can get weird from the acids) Grill it up! Yum!

I'm sure the people that were active in this thread 7 years ago are thankful for your recipe.

Aren’t you a delight.
