Written by

Here’s a classic Hungarian Chicken Paprikash (Paprikás Csirke) recipe — creamy, comforting, and full of rich paprika flavor.

2 ½–3 lbs (1.2–1.4 kg) chicken pieces (bone-in, skin-on thighs/drumsticks are best)
2 tbsp vegetable oil or lard
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika (plus extra for garnish)
1 tsp hot Hungarian paprika (optional, for heat)
1 medium tomato, chopped (or ½ cup canned diced tomato)
1 small green pepper, sliced (optional, for authenticity)
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for thickening)
Salt and pepper, to taste
