Allow time to marinate the chicken. That will help tenderize the chicken, make it more juicy and absorb the maximum flavor. Don't overcrowd the pan or the grill. You want the chicken tenders to grill evenly and brown well. If time does not allow marinating, simply add marinate just prior to grilling.
