Marinating chicken overnight 10-12 hours yields the best results. Doing it for a longer period of time may pose health concerns or the chicken may be too soft. You could do 2-4 hours, but the chicken will not be as soft when you cook it.

It depends how you are cooking it. At least two hours is a good start and will impart the desired flavor into the chicken, overnight is best, but make sure you leave it covered in the fridge.
