First question: What is one supposed to do with the oil? It's in the ingredients, but not the directions. I chose to add it to the skillet in Step 7, and I can tell you that was the wrong choice. There was so much sauce the chicken was swimming in it. This was tasty, but way too liquid-y for us. Next time I'll probably leave out the oil, reduce the butter, and bake uncovered to see if that makes the pecan-syrup mixture stick to the chicken instead of having the chicken float in it.
