How long will chicken or pork keep in an Italian dressing marinade in the fridge?

Chicken or pork can safely marinate in an Italian dressing in the fridge for about 2 to 24 hours. Marinating for longer than 24 hours is not recommended, as the acidity in the dressing can start to break down the meat's texture, making it mushy. Always ensure the meat is stored in an airtight container to prevent contamination and maintain flavor.
