Completely cover your chicken with it and refridgerate it over night.  That should help some I think.

Hide hit the nail on the head, you want it to soak in the meat with any marinade.

I use a vacume sealer to marainade meats. I put the meat and marinade in a container and then use the sealer to draw a vacume. the marinade realy soaks into the meat that way. OR you can use a needle and inject the sauce directly into the meat. Injections works realy well for all diffrent kinds of maranaides.

If you have no way to do eaither of these methods a good over night soaking is usually enough.

I never heard of 20 ga marinade but one good one I found for turkey and chicken is applejuice.  I take my chicken weather it be breasts thighs or whatever and stick in a gallon freezer bag.  then I normally add the following but it is pretty general.  crushed garlic, pepper corns, orange slices, bay leaves and whatever else I might want in there.  refrigerate for atleast 24hours in marinade.  then grill or smoke.  this makes it come out with a sweet taste that many are not used too.  really good on rotisserie turkey over a wood charcoal fire.  alot of work goes into that.  and instead of a gallon baggie a 5 gallon bucket comes into play.  I have also used instead of apple juice I use apple cider.

not really just sweet n juicy.  hard to explain.  I have also injected apple juice before into poultry but it does not seem to be the same as soaking it in it.

Ive got tons of marinade recipe's. One of the best commercial one's Ive found is Lawry's steak and chop marinade. I swear by it for all my redmeat. I like to soak it overnight, 10-24hrs. I buy it by the case  of 20? when I catch a good sale on it. Here's a cheap homemade one I use alot. 2 cups water, 2 cup soy sauce, 2 tbls garlic POWDER, 1/8 tsp liquid smoke. Optional 1 c ketchup, 1 can frozen orange juice.  You can taste it and add anything else you like. I shy away from worchestershire sauce though since it tends to burn/scorch when Im doing deer steak. I reuse this marinade base for 3-5 days before discarding it.
