Can You Bake Chicken In Its Marinade?
It is generally not recommended to bake chicken in its marinade because it can lead to the chicken becoming too soggy and overcooked. Additionally, the marinade may burn in the oven, resulting in unpleasant flavors and smoke. It is safer and more flavorful to brush the chicken with marinade while baking, instead of baking it in the marinade. If you do want to use the marinade as a sauce, it’s best to boil it first to eliminate any bacteria that may have formed during the marinating process.
