For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade. If you don't have an outdoor grill, these chicken tenders can also be cooked in a grill pan on the stovetop or baked in the oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Grilled chicken tenders are fantastic served with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, or a fresh salad. They also make a delicious addition to wraps, tacos, and sandwiches.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, brown sugar, and crushed garlic until well combined. (2 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Add the chicken tenders to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the chicken. (5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Once hot, lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
04
Step
7 mins
Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. (2 minutes)
05
StepCarefully place the marinated chicken tenders on the preheated grill. Immediately reduce the heat to low. Grill for approximately 1 minute, then flip each tender. Continue grilling until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 4 to 6 minutes more. (7 minutes)
06
StepTo ensure the chicken is fully cooked, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of a tender. It should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (1 minute)
07
StepRemove the grilled chicken tenders from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful chicken. (3 minutes)
