If refrigerated they'll be fine for 2 days... I always marinate meats
at least two days, otherwise the full benefit of the marinade is
lost. But if you left poultry out on the counter over night I
strongly suggest discarding it. With your marinade there is no harm
done by marinating a couple of days, but if you had used an enzyme
tenderizer (pineapple/papaya) than you may end up with mushy chicken,
but still perfectly safe to eat.
