3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and saute until somewhat brown, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to casserole.
4. Add onion to the skillet and saute, stirring frquently, until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Add cinnamon, sugar and garlic and saute for a few seconds until you can smell the garlic. Transfer to the casserole.
6. Deglaze the skillet with the chicken stock and pour over evrything in the casserole dish. Season well with salt and pepper.
