Instructions:

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to make the teriyaki marinade

Place chicken tenders in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them

Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry for thickening the sauce later

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat

Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the marinade

Cook chicken tenders in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown

Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm
