Ingredients

4 servings

3 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp neutral oil or lard
1 large yellow onion, finely diced
3 tbsp sweet hungarian paprika
½ tsp hot paprika or smoked paprika
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 tbsp all-purpose flour

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
egg noodles or spaetzle, cooked, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down in a single layer — work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding — and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
