Thaw chicken thighs overnight in refrigerator, remove from refrigerator, and pat dry with paper towels on all sides.
Place chicken thighs in medium-sized bowl, add grapeseed oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and paprika and mix until well incorporated; allow to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Add olive oil to large Dutch oven and bring to medium-high heat; cook chicken thighs 3 to 4 minutes on one side until golden brown, flip, and cook another 3 minutes or until fully cooked; remove from Dutch oven and place cooked chicken aside.
Add onions, mushrooms, celery, red bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeño and sauté until tender and caramelized; about 90 seconds.
Add chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder and sauté about 45 seconds.
Add lager beer and cook down until 1/2 in volume; about 90 seconds to 2 minutes.
Add chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper and bring to a boil. While bringing to a boil, shred cooked chicken thighs with two forks.
Once chicken stock mixture comes to a boil, add shredded chicken, cover with lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 10 minutes.
Remove lid, add drained navy beans, and cook for 20 more minutes.
Remove lid and season chili to taste with salt and pepper.
