If it is an oil based marinade it will need more marinating time. Otherwise 1/2 to 1 hour might do.

Try a marinade of :
lemon juice and butter and sauteed fresh ginger root next time. Then grill the chicken on the grill. YUUUUUMMMM

30 minutes in the fridge for a minimum, half a day is OK. Then, let it warm to nearly room temp right before cooking.
