While the chicken marinates, make the quick pickles. Combine the rice vinegar, honey, and 1/4 tsp salt in a medium bowl and stir until the honey dissolves. Add the julienned daikon and carrots, toss well, and set aside at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, tossing once or twice, until the vegetables are slightly softened and tangy.
