Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey until smooth. Set aside.

Pat dry the chicken and shrimp with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In a bowl, toss the chicken and shrimp in cornstarch until fully coated.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil if necessary, then add the shrimp. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet.
Combine with Sauce:
Add the cooked chicken and shrimp back into the skillet and pour the Bang Bang sauce over them. Toss everything together until the chicken and shrimp are well-coated in the sauce.
Serve:
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges if desired. Serve immediately with rice, noodles, or lettuce wraps.
