Simple chicken tenders dinner question

Doing a quick/simple dinner tonight of boneless chicken tenders. Sweet Chili Sauce, pineapple juice and honey as a marinade. Would you go direct or indirect? I'm thinking indirect because of the sugar in the marinade, but would love to hear some opinions. Thanks all!

    Either indirect or raised direct at a slightly lower temperature.   I agree with you ... the sugar in the marinade would be my concern.

    I would go raised direct. Keep the temp around 325 and you won't burn the sugar.

    I would cook them standard direct 350 dome. Chicken tenders won't take but 3 or four minutes a side. They won't even brown by the time they are done if indirect. The marinade will not burn in that amount of time.
