Boil the chicken thighs in water for about 1 hour. Use enough water to cover the chicken thighs. Check frequently during this hour to make sure there is enough water. After about 1 hour, add the cornflour and oil to a hot pan and stir well until the flour changes color slightly. Then add the grated garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika and stir for about 5 minutes. Deglaze this mixture with the stock from the chicken thighs. Important: Always stir well to avoid lumps! If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water. The mixture should have a consistency similar to natural yogurt. Once the mixture is well mixed, pour it into a baking dish. Place the chicken thighs on top. Place the baking dish in the oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 30 minutes.
