I've never marinated a chicken I was roasting, but this is a proven recipe, a few here have used it and it's gorgeous.

Spicy Tandoori Yoghurt Marinade

Preparation time less than 30 mins

Ingredients
6 tbsp sunflower oil
290ml/½ pint natural yoghurt
4 large cloves garlic, crushed
5cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
1 red chilli, finely chopped (optional)
2 lemons, juice only
Spices:
4 tsp ground turmeric
4 tsp ground cumin
4 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp paprika
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
1. Combine all the spices and then add the rest of the ingredients.
2. Marinade meat or poultry for 4-6 hours or leave overnight.

I use chicken, on skewers - cook under the grill or on the BBQ

Softened butter, mix with lots of lemon thyme and a dash of lemon juice and put it under the skin of the chicken or turkey.

As the lemon butter melts, it soaks into the meat and keeps it incredibly moist and tasty.

Not a pre-marinade, but a lovely flavour for basting, and you get the "chutney" at the end too - cut a couple of large sweet apples and a couple of red sweet peppers into quarters, remove cores but don't peel. Add a couple of cloves crushed garlic a bit of oil and a little lemon and a small cup of water. Put them around the chicken to roast in together, and spoon the oil and fruity juices over the chicken every half-hour.
I also like to put a little bit of schwartz Season-All powder over the skin.

Here's my recipe for Tequila Lime Chicken Marinade. It's my own recipe and it's delicious! I like to use it on the grill, but you could roast your chicken as well.

½ cup gold tequila

1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (5 to 6 limes)

½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon minced fresh jalapeno pepper (1 pepper seeded)

1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (3 cloves)

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3 whole (6 split) boneless chicken breasts, skin on

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight. Heat a grill and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
