NTA and this is a big red flag. Staying at his place a few days a week shouldn’t result in chores, but since it is on the regular, helping out is of course the right thing to do. If you are cooking, he should clean, or you both need a clear set of who does what chores.
Also, if my boyfriend ever said to me “now you can clean the kitchen”, I would never cook for him again.
He clearly thinks he is doing you a favor by letting you stay there, and that you are responsible now for a significant amount of chores and taking care of him. ♀️
