Prepare the Skewers:
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.

Cook the Chicken:

Grill Method: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until the chicken is charred and cooked through.

Air Fryer Method: Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.

Stovetop Method: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook for 4-5 minutes per side.

Make the Honey Mustard Drizzle:
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper until smooth.

Assemble & Serve:
Drizzle the honey mustard sauce over the skewers and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot!
