    💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
  3. 3
    Sear the chicken in a single layer 5–6 minutes per side, until it is nicely seared and cooked through.
    Stove
    💡Chicken pieces in a single layer, left alone until the underside releases, sear and brown; in a crowded pan they release liquid and steam.
  4. 4
    While grilling, brush the chicken now and then with the reserved mixture.
