How the fuck do I cook in a frying pan without it smoking so much? I use grapeseed oil which has a high smoke point and cook on medium heat normally.
For example, when I cook chicken breasts, all the extra stuff that comes off the chicken gets stuck to the bottom and after ~2 pieces it starts smoking.

Don't let the pan sit for too long without anything in it. As soon as you take the chicken out, add more as quick as you can. This should stop the oil from burning and smoking. I made a stir fry recently with the pan constantly on high heat and didn't have much smoke because I made sure that it wasn't sitting empty on the burner.
If you're doing breaded chicken, not much you can do about that though, since some of the breading is going to fall off and start to burn. Either just clean the pan between batches if it's breaded, or do it in the oven on a baking sheet.

Just turn the fucking heat down. Smoking means your pan is too hot. Simple as that.
Also, if you're cooking meat, poultry, or fish that's not breaded you need to pat it dry before it goes into the pan, especially if you used a marinade.
