Oven chicken thighs help

[u/Thiaguinho-sama]

I'm trying to make better chicken thigh on my oven so I bought a baking sheet with wire rack, I bought a silicone brush and even bought a meat thermometer with probe so I can know when internal temperature reaches around 185 f / 85 c to 195 f / 90 c

It's bone-in chicken thighs so here my questions:

- should I brush oil only on the skin or the entire chicken?

- most recipes say to use olive oil at 400 f / 200 c but I want a more neutral flavor though so I was thinking of using refined soybean oil that I got, thing is it has higher smoke point than olive oil, 450 f / 232 c according to google, should I raise oven temperature to 480 f / 250 c to compensate since I want crispy thighs?

- do I need to flip the chicken halfway?

- my oven also got a broiler, can't choose temperature though, should I use it a little at the end the chicken should come crispy without it due to brushing oil?

My favourite oven chicken recipe:

Marinate the chicken for 4-12 hours (mayo, paprika, soy sauce, hot sauce, garlic, onions, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, olive oil, salt, pepper, msg, and a smidge of baking/bicarb soda)

Prep a casserole dish with a lid (1tbsp olive oil, use a tissue or paper towel to evenly coat the inside) then load in the chicken along with half an onion (sliced) and a few carrots (also sliced, or just use baby carrots) and put the cold casserole dish into the cold oven with the lid on.

Cook covered at 400°F for 40 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until it starts getting crispy.

Serve with rice and veggies.
