4 Use Plenty of Oil
Speaking of which: apply that oil liberally! Dry chicken is nobody’s idea of a fun time, and if you don’t apply lots of oil then that’s what you’re going to get. Not only that, but a little bit of vegetable oil will greatly add to the flavor of the chicken and help it to crisp up on the outside as well.
Use a small brush to apply the oil and try to get an even coat around the entire chicken.
We have been taught to avoid too much oil, and many of us will feel strange about using large amounts seeing as it is often thought to be unhealthy.
In truth though, it turns out that olive oil and other natural oils are perfectly healthy for us. In fact, they provide us with healthy fats which help us to absorb nutrients, and which even improve things like brain function and energy levels. Olive oil is a staple of the Mediterranean diet and that is widely considered to be one of the healthiest diets out there.
That, and you’ll find that it tastes much better!
