How to remove oil from new chain?
I bought 3 feet of new 5/16" welded steel chain and it's thoroughly coated in oil. I do not have a parts washer. What is an efficient way to remove the oil, hopefully not involving any solvent that's high in VOCs?
I appreciate any help.

If it were me, I'd cut off the top of a milk jug, soak in about a quart of diesel fuel, then use it to start the next bon fire.
Coated in oil, doubtful soap and water are going to make a big improvement, you need some type of solvent!

Have you tried hot water and soap?
