This recipe brings together the bold flavors of Cajun spices with the refreshing tang of lime in a creamy aioli, perfect for a summer barbecue.
Prepare the chicken by slicing each breast in half horizontally to create thinner pieces.
Thinner pieces cook more evenly and absorb flavors better.
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated ginger, lime juice, hot sauce, salt, and pepper to create the aioli.
Chill the aioli in the refrigerator while preparing the chicken for a refreshing touch.
Rub the chicken pieces with Cajun spice mix, ensuring an even coating.
Let the chicken sit for a few minutes to allow the spices to adhere.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the chicken to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the grilled chicken with a dollop of lime aioli on the side.
Garnish with lime wedges or fresh herbs for added presentation.
