Marinate poultry: Place chicken or turkey pieces in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the poultry, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for several hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. π
-
Cook: After marinating, remove poultry from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps ensure even cooking. You can then broil, grill, or barbecue the poultry until cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165Β°F (75Β°C) for chicken and 180Β°F (82Β°C) for turkey. Enjoy your flavorful and tender Lemon-Oregano marinated poultry! π½οΈ
