Marinate your chicken in the refrigerator, never on the counter. That cold temperature slows down bacterial growth. Don't reuse the marinade on cooked food! The marinade has been sitting with raw chicken and could have bacteria in it. Use fresh marinade for basting or dipping, or boil it first to kill any bacteria.

For safely using chicken marinade , marinate in the refrigerator, use a sealed container to avoid cross-contamination, discard marinade that touched raw chicken, and cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.

When marinating chicken, I always advise using separate containers for raw chicken and the marinade to prevent cross-contamination. This simple step ensures that harmful bacteria from raw chicken don't get into the marinade and then onto other foods.
