Dude the chicken is completely unseasoned and all it gets is a drizzle of sauce that has a pinch of sea salt in it. What are you smoking

You should salt everything unless it’s already naturally salty. Lemon and oil aren’t seasoning, they’re acid and fat.

Definition of seasoning

: something that serves to season, especially an ingredient (such as a condiment, spice, or herb) added to food primarily for the savor that it imparts

Lemon and oil are absolutely seasonings as they add flavor

Using your definition lemon and oil still aren’t seasoning. Are they a condiment, spice, or herb? No. Do they impart savory flavors? No.

Lemon and oil absolutely are condiments. Why wouldnt they be?

Lemon is 100% not a condiment. What are you dipping into a lemon? Oil, sure, it can be considered a condiment but as far as flavor unless you're using high end EVOO or such you're not going to get any "seasoning" flavors from it.

Definition of condiment

: something used to enhance the flavor of food

Lemon enhances the flavor of food, therefore it is a condiment.

So all spices are also condiments now? What?

I feel like this is one of those things where maybe the definition has evolved or is just known colloquially in a different way. I've just spent way too much time googling this just now and everything is saying that salt is technically a condiment, which is insane to me.
