Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 skinless chicken thighs
- 2 chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions:
-
Sauté the Onion: Begin by heating the olive oil in a deep frying pan or non-stick pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onion to the pan and sprinkle with salt to help the layers separate and become translucent and golden.
-
-
Incorporate Paprika: Once the onions are golden and soft, push them to one side of the pan and add the paprika. Take caution not to let the paprika burn; stir it continuously in the oil for about two minutes until fragrant.
-
Add Chicken: After the paprika is cooked, mix it with the onions and add the chicken thighs and drumsticks to the pan. Increase the heat slightly and continue stirring to prevent the paprika from sticking to the pan.
-
Simmer: As the chicken cooks, it will release its juices. At this point, pour in the water and allow the dish to simmer over low heat for approximately one hour. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.
-
Serve: Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, serve the Hungarian Chicken Paprikash over boiled potatoes for a hearty and satisfying meal.
