I buy chicken frequently so I decided to change up my way of cooking them by using different seasonings.

Instead of the basil oil, you can simply use dried basil with some salt (rock salt etc.) and sprinkle them on top.
If you use extra virgin olive oil, the flavor and aroma will be fantastic once cooked, however, you can use regular vegetable oil if you'd like. Recipe by Hokkori-no
