- Anytime I see chicken breasts on sale, I like to make a huge batch of this marinade then divide the chicken breasts between gallon sized freezer bags, add marinade to each bag, seal them and freeze them! Whenever you need a quick dinner, take a bag of marinaded chicken out of the freezer, let it thaw on the countertop for about 2-3 hours, then grill it up!
