Can you pour hot chicken stock over chicken and leave to marinate all night?

Question

Making chicken , daft question can you pour hot chicken stock over raw chicken to marinate over night? In the fridge? Will the hot chicken stock cook the chicken?

Answer 1

The hot broth will start the cooking process and stop it when it cools. So it is not a good idea. And just broth over chicken really does not enhance the chicken in any way, unless it is a very spicy/salty broth. Better off with a dry rub for the chicken. Or a lemon juice and herb seasoning while cooking it. And if going as cheap as possible, just regular Italian Dressing works too.

Answer 2

You can. The salts in the broth will be absorbed by the chicken to make it somewhat more moist. But for a true marinade you need a sugar or an acid to actually break down the proteins in the meat.



Hot broth will not cook the chicken. Especially if you put the chicken in the fridge.



To cook chicken overnight you can place raw chicken in a crockpot on low for 12 hours. Do not completely submerge the chicken. Just add enough fluid to about halfway up the depth of the chicken.

Answer 3

pouring hot chicken stock over raw chicken just brings the temps into the danger zone and will heat up your fridge, waste energy and bring up the temps of the other foods in your fridge and will NOT benefit your chicken meat at all. What do you hope to accomplish?

In any case, pouring cold chicken stock on the raw meat would do the same thing but in a safer manner.

Answer 4

If it's just chicken stock, there's no reason to get it hot in the first place. It's really more a "brine" than a "marinade"--and brines are ALWAYS completely cooled before putting the chicken in it and refrigerating it.



The stock alone won't season it much at all. Check these out and they'll show you how to add extra seasonings/spices to the liquid:

Answer 5

NO!!

First pouring hot broth over the raw chicken will begin to coagulate the proteins so the surface will become impenetrable to the marinade so you will get no flavor through the surface.

Second..pouring hot liquid over raw meat of any kind will bring the meat intoa temperature zone that will allow bacteria to multiply. Then it will remain in a "danger" zone while cooling allowing bacteria to multiply even more.



Use cold marinade.

Also broth will not lend much flavor as a marinade. You need something with more flavor than a broth

Answer 6

Yes, you can, but there's hardly no point. Chicken stock on chicken? If you made a sauce of some sort out of the stock then MAYBE it would make sense, but otherwise it seems a waste of stock. If you refrigerate the chicken the stock won't do the cooking.

Answer 7

I make a hot chicken stock and I poach boneless chicken thighs in it, then put in a low oven for a couple of hours, to lightly cook them for making a chicken pie or casserole, the hot stock flavors the meat, but will start to cook it, I would'nt put the hot liquid in the fridge, maybe when it cools.

Answer 8

Hot chicken broth over raw chicken will slightly cook the chicken, but not enough. It will still need to be cooked completely. P.S. Please make sure the hot stock is completely cooled before putting into the refrigerator, otherwise the whole refrigerator will get warm and quickly speed up the spoiling of other foods.

Answer 9

do not use hot marinade as it will warm the chicken and allow bacteria to grow, If you want to use chicken stock use it cold, but it doesn't do much for the flavor of a chicken, better to season the chicken with salt and pepper, a little thyme or rosemary and not use stock

Answer 10

It will par-cook the chicken and create an environment perfect for food poisoning. Either cook the chicken or bring the marinade down to a cooler temperature with an icewater bath.

Answer 11

Hot chicken stock is NOT a marinade. A marinade has fat and acid; and it's usually cold not hot.

Answer 12

Sure but the hot stock will not cook the chicken , that you will have to do yourself. As to the added growth due to the added heat , it will be minimal and cause no problems.

Answer 13

I don't know. Then you'd have chicken flavored chicken. Quite a risk..

Answer 14

If you want a case of food poisoning for you and your family then yes. You will get sick from this.

Answer 15

It will semi cook it and then the rest will go bad.

Answer 16

Yes but it would be disgusting
