once a week, wipe clean and feed chainsaw oil. I find that chainsaw oil dries fairly quickly, but keeps drivetrain super silent and smooth. Riding in wet also means more oiling. Chain gets a white spirit rinse and dunk in oil when I get round to cleaning the bike (usually after 500 miles). My bike doesnt have full mudguards so drivetrain does get pretty mucked up and chains only last 1,000 miles (1% stretch).
