User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query very concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: how to get seasoning to stick to chicken without using oil
Assistant: To get seasoning to stick to chicken without using oil, you can try the following methods:

1. **Use Mustard or Yogurt:** Apply a thin layer of mustard or yogurt to the chicken. These will act as a binder for the seasonings and add flavor as well.

2. **Egg Wash:** Beat an egg and coat the chicken lightly. The egg will help the seasoning adhere.

3. **Dijon or Hot Sauce:** A thin layer of Dijon mustard or hot sauce can help the seasoning stick while adding a kick of flavor.

4. **Vinegar or Citrus Juice:** Marinate the chicken in vinegar or citrus juice (like lemon or lime) for a short period before applying the seasonings. The acidity can help the spices cling to the surface.

5. **Dry Brining:** Sprinkle the chicken with salt and let it sit for a while. This will help it retain moisture and create a tacky surface for the seasoning to stick.

6. **Seasoning Paste:** Mix your seasonings with a bit of water to form
User: tell me more about the seasoning paste
Assistant: A seasoning paste is a mixture of spices, herbs, and sometimes other flavorings combined with a liquid to create a thick, paste-like consistency. This paste can be used to coat meats, including chicken, making it easier for the seasoning to stick during cooking. Here’s how to make and use a seasoning paste effectively:

### Ingredients:
- **Spices and Herbs:** Choose from a variety of spices (like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, etc.) and herbs (like thyme, rosemary, oregano, etc.) according to your taste preference.
- **Liquid:** Use something like water, broth, vinegar, citrus juice, or even yogurt to help bind the spices together.
- **Salt:** Adding salt enhances flavor and helps the paste penetrate the meat.

### Method:
1. **Mix:** In a bowl, combine your chosen spices and herbs. Gradually add your liquid of choice until you achieve a thick pasty consistency.
   
2. **Coat the Chicken:** Apply the seasoning paste generously over the chicken. Ensure it is evenly coated for consistent flavor.

3. **Marinate (Optional):** For better flavor penetration, let the chicken marinate with the paste for at least 30 minutes, or even a few hours in the refrigerator.

### Usage:
- **Versatility:** This method is versatile and can be used for various meats and even vegetables.
- **Baking or Grilling:** The seasoning paste will create a flavorful crust when baked, grilled, or roasted, and helps keep moisture in.

### Tips:
- **Adjust to Taste:** Experiment with different spice combinations to suit your taste.
- **Thickness:** Adjust the amount of liquid to achieve your preferred paste thickness.

Using a seasoning paste can significantly enhance the flavor of your chicken without the need for oil, giving you a delicious and healthier alternative.
User: how to use chicken temperature thermometer
Assistant: Using a chicken temperature thermometer is essential for ensuring that your chicken is cooked safely and thoroughly. Here’s how to use it effectively:

### Steps to Use a Chicken Temperature Thermometer:

1. **Choose the Right Thermometer:**
   - You can use either an instant-read thermometer or a probe thermometer. Instant-read thermometers give quick readings, while probe thermometers often stay in the chicken during cooking.

2. **Prepare the Chicken:**
   - Before cooking, ensure your chicken is properly prepared (thawed if frozen, seasoned, etc.).

3. **Insert the Thermometer:**
   - For whole chickens:
     - Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, making sure it does not touch bone, which can give misleading readings. 
   - For chicken pieces (like breasts or thighs):
     - Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat without touching bone or fat.

4. **Check the Reading:**
   - Wait a few seconds for the thermometer to stabilize. Instant-read thermometers usually take less than 10 seconds to provide an accurate reading.

5. **Know the Safe Cooking Temperature:**
   - According to the USDA, the safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is **165°F (75°C)**. At this temperature, the chicken should be safe to eat and free from harmful bacteria.

6. **Remove and Clean:**
   - After checking, remove the thermometer and clean it thoroughly before using it again to avoid cross-contamination.

### Tips:
- **Calibrate Your Thermometer:** Regularly check your thermometer's accuracy by placing it in ice water to see if it reads 32°F (0°C).
- **Use Multiple Checkpoints:** If cooking a whole chicken, you may want to check the temperature in multiple areas (thigh, breast) to ensure even cooking.
- **Resting Period:** Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking; the internal temperature may rise slightly during this time.

Using a chicken temperature thermometer not only ensures food safety but also helps in achieving perfectly cooked, juicy chicken.
