Prepare the vegan chicken pieces by cutting them into bite-sized chunks if needed.
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, vegan Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, liquid smoke, and water until well combined.
Place the vegan chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan.
Remove the vegan chicken pieces from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Place the vegan chicken pieces on the preheated grill. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until they are heated through and slightly charred.
Transfer the grilled vegan chicken BBQ pieces to a serving platter and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the Vegan Classic Chicken BBQ with your favorite side dishes such as coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or corn on the cob for a complete vegan barbecue meal.
