I use a dropper. My mix is 25% oil and 75% mineral spirits.

Take the time to wipe the chain down after oiling and you won't have this problem.
Here's my routine:
-Remove chain (Powerlink'd)
-Dunk chain in can of kerosene
-Agitate and remove
-Dunk chain into Big Slam Mountain Dew bottle with Simple Green added
-Agitate chain
-Dump fluid out
-Fill with very hot water
-Agitate
-Dump and fill again
-Agitate
-Remove chain
-Dry on paper towels
-Remount chain
-Oil using dropper
-Wipe exterior of chain with rag wetted with WD40
-Ride briefly
-Repeat wipe
Works for me, might not be your cup of tea though.
