I just bought some farm fresh chicken thighs from the local farmers market. What steps do I need to take to make it the best meal I’ve ever had?

Hello all!
I've always sort of glazed over the idea of wiping out my wok or pan between cooking batches of food or ingredients. Case in point, this video at around the 8:25 mark. It looks like they took the pork out, let the pan cool, and scrubbed it almost completely clean.
With the use of video editing magic it's seamless. But when I'm hunkered over the stovetop trying to get dinner on the table, how am I supposed to do this without severely interfering with my cooking flow? No doubt after cooking things like meats with sweet sauces, the gunk is going to build up, and I feel like the only way to really clean it out safely is to wait for the wok to cool down a bit, add a bit of water, and scrape (no pan sauces being made here). Without some kind of liquid the gunk will continue to burn, and without cooling the pan I risk a ton of steam and maybe even a warped pan.
Also with step-by-step sautéing like in most wok cooking, I want to make sure the veggies that come after the meat aren't getting all of that buildup.
So, how are you cleaning your pan mid-cooking?
Made a garlic confit with olive oil, salt and pepper about 4 days ago and have noticed a clear/white film developing on the garlic cloves and on the top of the oil. It was placed in a glass mason jar and left to cool in the fridge about an hour after it was done cooking.
Should I be worried whether this is mold developing or could it just be fat cooling and or solidifying from the oil?
There is also no odor other than the garlic itself.

Elon Musk denied having an affair with the wife of Google co-founder and Tesla investor Sergey Brin after a report alleged the longtime friends had a falling out over the infidelity.
The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that Musk had a brief affair with Nicole Shanahan, Brin's wife, in December, prompting Shanahan and Brin to divorce in January.
Musk responded to a tweet on Sunday that linked to The Journal's report.
"This is total bs. Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night!" Musk wrote. "I've only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic."
In a follow-up response, Musk added: "Haven't even had sex in ages (sigh)."
In another tweet, he added that "the character assassination attacks have reached a new level this year, but the articles are all nothing-burgers."
"I work crazy hours, so there just isn't much time for shenanigans," he said.

Musk also criticized The Journal, saying it is "supposed to have a high standard for journalism" but right now is like a "tabloid."
"WSJ should be running stories that actually matter to their readers and have solid factual basis, not third-party random hearsay," he said.
According to court filings, Brin and Shanahan cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their divorce in January, which occurred weeks after Brin discovered the affair, The Journal reported.
Sources told the outlet that at a party earlier this year, Musk dropped to his knees and begged Brin for forgiveness and that Brin acknowledged the apology but the two are still not on speaking terms.
The report of the affair comes amid other revelations about Musk's personal life. Insider's Julia Black reported earlier this month that Musk quietly had twins last year with one of his top executives, Shivon Zilis. In May, Insider's Rich McHugh reported Musk was accused of exposing himself to a SpaceX flight attendant, which he has denied.
The Journal did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
