It means you should have some oil in the pan, usually 1-3 teaspoons at least.  

Answer 5

depends on what you're cooking. you don't always need to use oil. i pan fry pork chops often and never use oil. the oil is usually just to keep the food from sticking to the pan. if you have non-stick pans this isn't an issue. but it really helps with black iron pans.

depending on the size of the  fryer you use

Answer 7

if you want them crunchy and a little dry inside i would bake them. i use salt, pepper, garlic, accent, oregano, and a little old bay. if you rinse the wings then pat them dry, sprinkle the spices on in that order, then bake them at 325 for about 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the wings, you will have perfect wings.

Answer 8

pan fry is american for saute, which means to cook fast in a little oil. turn the stove on, put the pan on the stove, let it heat up for a minute and then add a little oil and cook
