Prepare Hot Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, honey, and mustard. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

Prepare Chicken Thighs: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) (or an oven to 400F / 204C. Cube the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and skewer them (or place them on a baking sheet if not skewering). Drizzle the chicken with ½ of the hot honey mustard sauce, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

Cook Chicken: Place the skewered or cubed chicken into the air fryer basket (or into the oven). Cook to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to ensure it’s fully cooked.

Coat Cooked Chicken: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer. Carefully coat the chicken pieces with the remaining honey mustard mixture.

Prepare Sandwich: While the chicken is cooking, slice the rolls in half. Toast them lightly in a toaster oven.

Assemble Sandwich: Place the honey mustard-coated chicken pieces on the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta roll. Top with the other half of the bread and press gently. Cut in half.

Prepare Margaritas: Mix the ingredients for the margarita. If desired, rim the glasses with salt by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dipping the rim into salt to coat.

Serve: Serve the sandwich with chips, pickle, and virgin margarita.
