Halve tomatoes. Halve cucumbers lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half moons. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine flour, Cajun Spice Blend and 1/4-tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Season with pepper.
Combine potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (approx. 1 inch) in a large pot. (NOTE: Use same for 4 ppl.) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, until fork-tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water (dbl for 4ppl), then drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat. Add reserved cooking water and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl). Using a potato masher, mash together until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
While potatoes cook, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Add chicken to flour mixture. Toss to coat, pressing chicken into flour mixture to coat completely.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Cook, flipping occasionally, until golden-brown and cooked through, 8-10 min.**
While chicken cooks, combine vinegar with 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a medium bowl. Add spring mix, tomatoes and cucumbers. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Divide popcorn chicken, smashed potatoes and salad between plates. Serve BBQ sauce alongside, for dipping.
