Place the chicken in a pot with the water and half the salt.
Boil the chicken for 35 minutes, until tender, and reserve the broth.
Separate the chicken into large pieces and pat the surface dry with paper towels.
Coat the chicken pieces in flour and shake off the excess.
Heat half of the olive oil and fry the chicken for 8 minutes, turning it all around.
In a separate pot, toast 2 tablespoons of flour with the remaining oil for 4 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, red paprika powder, and 4 cups of chicken broth, and whisk until smooth.
Put the fried chicken into the sauce and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Add the crushed garlic, remove from the heat after 2 minutes, and serve with black pepper.
💡 Tip: Drying the chicken before frying keeps the flour coating from separating in the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with hot pita, roasted peppers, and lemony onion salad.
