    Do I have to marinate boneless chicken or can I cook it immediately?
    Community Answer
    You can choose to do either, it doesn't matter. Marinating will give the chicken a bit more flavor on its own, but if you choose to not marinate, the sauce can compensate. Personally, I like to marinate the chicken so there is more flavor.
