Look, sometimes you only have 10 minutes. You know what? It’s fine. Toss the chicken in a bag with garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper, shake it like a maraca, and cook immediately. It won’t be “marinated” in the traditional sense, but you’ll still have a tasty meal. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of dinner.
The secret is confidence. Whether you marinade for 30 minutes or 8 hours, the chicken will taste good because you made it. And that’s the real seasoning, my friend.
