Marinated Chicken with Potato salad.

Marinating the chicken is a good idea, it add flavour and tenderizes the flesh. The longer you leave it, the more flavour is absorbed by the chicken. I have used skinless chicken breasts for this recipe.
Make sure your chicken is cooked before eating. The flesh should be white all the way through.
Remember the life of a broiler chicken versus the life of a free range chicken. Choose free range if you can.
