Ingredients:
For the chicken marinade:

– 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola)
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
For the sauce:
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
– 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions:
1. Prepare the chicken marinade:
– In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, paprika, and ground ginger. Mix well to make the sauce.
2. Marinate the chicken:
– Take half of the prepared sauce and coat the chicken thighs evenly with it. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Cook the chicken:
– Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
– Add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken.
4. Prepare the sauce for cooking:
– While the chicken is cooking, take the remaining half of the sauce and set it aside.
5. Finish the dish:
– Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate.
– In the same skillet, add the remaining sauce and heat it over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until warmed through.
6. Serve:
– Slice the cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
– Serve the chicken over cooked rice and drizzle with the warm Bang Bang sauce from the skillet.
– Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
