Ingredientai

2 tablespoons pork lard OR butter (lard is traditionally used and strongly recommended for the best flavor)

3 lbs chicken (thighs/legs), bone-in and skin-on

2 medium yellow onions, very finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

3-4 tablespoons quality, genuine imported sweet Hungarian paprika

2 cups quality chicken broth (if using store-bought my favorite brand is Aneto)

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3/4 cup full-fat sour cream (room temp, to avoid lumps)

OPTIONAL

2 Roma tomatoes, seeds removed and very finely diced

1 Hungarian bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Nurodymai

1. Heat lard in a large Dutch oven. Sear chicken on all sides. Remove.

2. In the same oil, brown onions until golden.

3. Add the garlic and tomatoes (and pepper if using) and fry 2-3 min until slightly soft.

4. Stir in paprika, salt & pepper (paprika becomes bitter if scorched). Immediately return the chicken + add chicken broth until mostly covered. Bring to boil.

5. Once boiling, cover & reduce heat to simmer on med-low for 40 min.

6. Remove the chicken again.

7. In a small bowl, stir the flour into the sour cream/cream mixture to form a smooth paste. Slowly add into the sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

8. Bring it to a simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.

9. Return the chicken to the sauce and simmer to heat through.

10. Serve with Hungarian nokedl
