Do I Have To Marinate Chicken Before Grilling?
No, you do not have to marinate chicken before grilling, but marinating it can enhance the flavor and tenderness of the meat. Marinating for at least thirty minutes to several hours will allow the chicken to absorb the flavor of the marinade. It also helps to tenderize the meat, making it more juicy and tender when cooked. If you are short on time, you can skip the marinating process and still have a delicious grilled chicken.
