What are the most frequently asked questions on Quora

How do I make chicken marinade ahead of time?
Can you prepare the marinade up to 24 hours in advance? When ready to use, pour the marinade over the chicken breasts. For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour, but no longer than 4 hours in the refrigerator. Can you freeze chicken breasts before grilling?
What if I don’t have all the spices for the marinade and seasoning mix?
If you’re missing dried thyme or parsley, you can substitute with Italian seasoning at a 1:1 ratio. If you’re short on garlic powder or onion powder, you can use the other in a pinch, but the flavor profile will be slightly altered. For the seasoning mix, you can substitute paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt, using about 2 tablespoons for the same amount of chicken.
How do you know if your chicken is cooked on the grill?
The chicken is perfectly cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) as measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast. Visually, the chicken should be opaque throughout, with no pink remaining. The juices should run clear when pierced with a fork. The chicken should feel firm to the touch, but not overly tough.

If baking, use multiple baking sheets and adjust cooking time accordingly.
