Steps:
- In a small bowl or larger liquid measuring cup, whisk together the water, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, pepper, and salt. Transfer mixture to a 1-gallon ziptop bag (or if you prefer to marinate the chicken directly in the bowl, whisk the ingredients together in a mixing bowl just large enough to hold the chicken snugly so that it is well submerged).
- Add the chicken to the bag and seal, gently pressing out as much air from the bag as possible. Turn and "squish" the bag so that the chicken is evenly distributed and all of the pieces are coated. Place the bag in a shallow dish to catch any accidental drips then place in the refrigerator to marinate. (If you are using a bowl, add the chicken to the bowl, toss to coat in the marinade, then cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator). Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
- When ready to grill, remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium heat (about 375 degrees F). Oil the grill, then place the chicken tenders on the grill in a single layer without overlapping them, shaking off any excess marinade (discard the bag and remaining marinade). Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until the juices run clear and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.
- Transfer the chicken tenders to a plate or cutting board. Cover with foil and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the juices to reincorporate.
