dar sabor/dar un sabor especial
Explanation:
Están usando "activate" en sentido figurado. El aceite de cacahuate/maní da un sabor muy especial. A mí, en particular, me gusta para freír filetes de pescado.

para freir (como merecen)...


Explanation:
creo que el contexto es coloquial, por esto se podría considerar un giro coloquial, "freir como Dios manda" etc.

No he encontrado nada sobre "activar chuletas".
