Preheat grill to medium-high heat (approximately 200°C / 400°F). Place marinated chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Remove from grill and let rest for several minutes.

Whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to meld flavors.

Allow chicken to come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Toast dried spices for enhanced flavor. Use room temperature ingredients for sauce to prevent separation.
