need advice about chicken marinating

[CaliA]

Hello everyone!
I need advice about chicken marinating
I know I'm not quite on the topic, but still the most suitable place that I could find :)
What secrets do you have for marinating chicken? I have some good and flavorful recipes BUT!
When I cook chicken, it very rarely infuses the marinade into itself. the meat becomes soft and juicy, but it is the taste that remains practically the same (I'm talking about the meat itself, not the skin). I also tried to marinate without the skin, make cuts - all the same, the result is not what I would like. please share your methods!
I will be grateful for any answers!

Just use a basic salt, sugar and water brine for a few hours to tenderize and use a rub and/or sauce on the outside for flavor. It should soak into the meat a bit.
If you're doing a "beer can" chicken you can add flavor to the liquid in the can.
Other than that there's not a whole lot you can do with chicken....

Get a bottle of Tony C’s butter marinade & inject the chicken with it. We really like the jalapeño butter injection. But there are several flavors to choose from & walmart usually carries them.

You can inject whatever flavor profile you are trying to achieve. I also enjoy brining boneless breasts in pickle juice and wrapped in bacon afterwards

thanks for such quick answers! I will definitely try to cook according to your advice!

As mentioned injecting works well, you could set some of the brine a side and baste your chicken as it cooks.

I have not experienced this method before. I am familiar with the bacon, but may need to try the pickle juice just to understand the flavor profile. How long do you brine them?

I go 3-4 hours. It's pretty delicious

Welcome to the Forum from SC. You certainly came to the right place for answers and then some!! Next thing you know, these folks will have you not only injecting or marinating that chicken with special flavor profiles, but smoking or grilling it with numerous side dishes!!!
