Why High Smoke Point Oils Matter
Using a high smoke point oil, like avocado or canola oil is key when cooking over high heat. These oils can withstand the intense temperatures of the griddle without burning, allowing you to achieve a clean, even sear on your chicken without unwanted bitter flavors. Avoid using butter or olive oil here, as they tend to burn quickly.
