1 Removing the skin from the chicken will help it absorb marinade. 2  In general, two hours of marinating is long enough for the meat to soak up the flavor, but poultry can marinate for up to two days in the refrigerator, according to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service. Fish and shellfish should marinate for only 30 minutes to an hour; any longer and the flesh might start to âcookâ and go mushy. 2  DO think ahead: If possible, start marinating meat the night before, or in the morning before you leave for work.
Marinades vary from recipe to recipe but they generally contain three basic components - oils, acids, and seasonings: Any marinade that contains acid, alcohol, or salt should not be used for very long, because it will chemically cook or denature the food in it. Marinate food in these marinades for less than 4 hours. Marinades that contain citrus juices, especially lemon or lime juice, should be used for only 2 hours or less. Be careful when using acidic marinades. Foods left too long in these blends can change color and texture.
