Your Chicken Rocket may have residue from the manufacturing process or packaging.
Wash it thoroughly with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap.
Once cleaned, dry it completely with a towel.
For best results, place it in a warm oven or on a grill for 5-10 minutes to remove any remaining moisture.

Using a paper towel or cloth, apply a very thin layer of oil to the entire Chicken Rocket.
Don't forget:
- The inside of the flavor chamber
- The outside surfaces
- The base and legs
Less is more. The surface should look lightly coated, not wet or greasy.

Pre-heat your grill or oven to 350°F.
Place the Chicken Rocket upside down on a baking sheet in a pre-heated grill or in an oven.
Heat for approximately one hour.

Allow it to cool naturally in the grill or oven.

One seasoning cycle is enough to get started.
For an even stronger finish, repeat the process 2-3 times.
Each layer helps create a darker, more durable cooking surface.
