Coconut Oil - Which Kind?

I tend to bake my chicken at 200C, which is almost 400F and read that the extra virgin coconut oil has a smoke point of 350, but the non virgin, refined kind has a higher smoke point. I am guessing I would need to use the refined to bake my meat in ?

Also, what about frying? Surely if the heat point is that, then frying in extra virgin would get a bit smoky as well ?

    I buy my coconut oil from Fiji- Called Banaban brand.
    I guess everything I use it daily. There is a website you can google from Banaban which gives you information.
    It has a mild flavour.

    I just started using it tonight.
    I used it in a Wok on high and it didn't burn.
    I have Omega Nutrition Organic Coconut Oil.
