Spicy Chicken Paprikash
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, Hungarian sweet paprika, and cayenne pepper, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with a ladle of the hot sauce from the skillet to temper it. Then, pour the sour cream mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, but do not let the sauce come to a boil.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the spicy chicken paprikash hot over cooked egg noodles or rice.
Chicken Paprikash, a Hungarian classic, has a fiery history. This dish, originating in the 18th century, was a favorite among Hungarian peasants. The key to its bold flavor is the generous use of paprika, which gives it a spicy kick. Renowned chefs like József Széchényi and Károly Gundel have put their own spin on this dish, making it a staple in Hungarian cuisine. The best version of this dish can be found in traditional Hungarian restaurants in Budapest, where the rich and creamy sauce is infused with the perfect amount of heat. To make it at home, using high-quality paprika is crucial for an authentic and spicy Chicken Paprikash.
