Marinating chicken? Is it safe?
I’m soaking some frozen chicken legs in a ceramic container with a lid. They’re immersed in a homemade chicken broth and soy sauce mixture. Is it safe to leave them this way for 24 hours before roasting?

It’s great that you’re taking the time to marinate your chicken! However, there are a few important safety tips to keep in mind.
Marinating chicken in the refrigerator is the safest method, rather than at room temperature. If you leave the chicken at room temperature for 24 hours, it could become unsafe to eat due to bacterial growth.
Since you’re using a ceramic container, it’s best to transfer the chicken to the fridge to marinate. Chicken can safely marinate for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, so it will still absorb plenty of flavor while remaining safe to eat when you roast it.
Enjoy your meal and stay safe!
