I don't use oil much. i usually bake chicken. Sometimes I ignore cooking spray because it is such a tiny amount per serving.
EDIT - also sometimes you will see oil and honey listed on a night I have chicken. That's from a marinade I make with equal parts honey, oil and soy sauce with some granulated garlic and onion salt. I kind of guess at how much is left after a lot is left in the bag and a lot is left as pan drippings.

I try to estimate was is left. I think I will try different amounts of oil to see what it looks like in my pan. I always use the same pan. Cooking spray is a good idea. I will get a canister. Baking is something I normally do not do. However, for a big, thick chicken breast, that would be the way to do it unless you cut it up in pieces. I will try out that marinade. I usually am too lazy to do stuff like that. I wonder if it works with pork? I have not had pork in many years. If I remember correctly, it is a more mild but sweeter tasting meat. Yes I know it looks wrong to call it “sweeter”, but it is not candy sweet. It is sweeter in a different way. It is a valid way to describe meat.
