Very rarely, but if I've made a batch of fried onions that oil is great for making grilled cheese.

I just use rapeseed.

Just well seasoned flour on chicken, rub the flour in if you like a thicker crust, and let the crust set for a while before frying in good lard.

I used to think you needed neutral oil, but frying with seasoned oil honestly made a huge improvement to my cooking. You need to pick the right things, and you end up having a few jars hanging around, but if you get it right it's just extra flavour.

Here's an old recipe that adds a piece of ham and some butter to the lard for frying chicken. Chinese and Indian restaurants make batches of oil flavoured by deep frying vegetables and spices, then use it for cooking. I save the oil from making crispy onions to make things like grilled cheese, stir fries, or starting some pasta sauces.
