@freitasex Hi, I am Hungarian. It is not a bad idea to "roast" the chicken in the beginning to get some extra flavor although we do not do it this way. I will from now on.
BUT
1. we DO NOT EVER and should never use TOMATO SAUCE that much. A very little for little favor is ok.
2. If you want to avoid the little flour-sour cream balls in your food. Warm the mix up first with using the sauce from the pan. First one scoop hot liquid/or sauce and mix. And then another one...
@freitasex You are more then welcome. Although it is up to your taste. If you like it with tomato juice, it is ok.
I hope the mixing was understandable. I order to avoid the flour textures or flour balls you have to balance the temperature of it first. If the contrast is to big between the two liquids you mix, then flour balls shaping in your meal. Regards, good luck!
@krajchek Hi, I'm a Hungarian too, who lives in Sydney, Australia for 30 years now. I've learned this French or maybe Greek idea to fry or braise the meat before making a stew to lock the juices inside and the meat stays softer on the end, 30 years ago.(not from the Australians) I use this technique for all meats pork, beef, chicken, lamb and for all pörkölts and paprikás or for other international stews. It gives a softer texture and a better quality taste on the end. I recommend it
@notagainjez Hi, you can read my answer below. It helps to make it. There is 2 big mistakes with it.
In stead of Tomato juice use real fresh tomato and yellow/green pepper. No problem to cook them until they melt. It is only for taste. You can use water for more liquid.
Tomato Juice is a NO NO in this meal for hungarians.
Also try to balance the heat of the flour-sour cream mix first before putting in the meal.

Interestingly Czech people also claim that its their speciality.
I made this differently cuz i didnt have all the ingredients. I substituted fresh piss for the tomato juice, used two fresh dog turds for the chicken, and i also didnt have paprika so i added a few sprinkles of crack. mmmm delicious thank you!
@freitasex I made this today. I made a few changes because of what I had at home. I used boneless chicken thighs and boobs instead. I added bay leaves and chopped green bell peppers. Very nice!
I was going to make a vid cooking this but you already have a good one. I have also made this using Rabbit instead of chicken. Either way it is good on dumblings
Man, you are by far the most amazing cooking channel I've seen on youtube. I really, really like your videos, it makes me feel good and better. Thank you.
Tomato Juice? Use 1-2 cans of stewed tomato instead, depending on how much meat you put in. I use only breasts. You mince the onion and put it in with the oil first. Once the onions just start to brown, you Hungarian Paprika. Add the chicken and stewed tomato AND CUBAN GREEN peppers. No garlic! Way too much Sour Cream. You don't need more than a table spoon or two. It's mostly just to thicken the sauce.
@SloBurn1138 That's rather mean. If you want respect, maybe you should respect other people's freedom in being creative with traditional dishes. It's this kind of attitude that squashes creativity and innovation. Maybe you should ask some of the people here if they've tried it and if they liked it. If it tasted good, then who cares? Not everyone wants to cook things the way they were "supposed" to.
That looks delicious!! Thanks for the vid... very helpful :-)
Just wondering, would you happen to know how to make dumplings? I know that at Ukranian restaurants they serve this with dumplings... but don't know how to make it. Thanks again :-)
Thist is by far the best chicken paprika recepit I've ever seen. My grandmother couldn't make it any better. (I'm from Hungary). What I myself never do is sauté the paprika powder as it can burn very easy, get black and sour. But you obviuosly do a good job avoiding it! Wine is also a good idea! We usually add water and tomatoe slices. Thanks for this excellent video! Will try it!
Interest recipe. I almost made this last night, but realized I was outa paprika. Still gave a similar version a shot with chopped chicken breast, white mushrooms, red onion, rice and cumin instead of the paprika spicin'. Worked out alright as an alternative, same way to cook it really.
I cooked you're chicken and I loved it, I only added one more thing, fresh artichokes do you like artichokes? if you do try it with with this chicken and tell me how you like it.
i wanted to use the sour cream but it's not available in the city i live in these days .. and i can't wait to go back home to make it so i wanted to use other ingredients make it close to the original taste
this is so good but i will put more onion cause i love it.. and i wanna ask u if i don't want to use sour cream what can i use instead ... heavy cream or wat ?
This is made a lot in my mom's home country of Hungary. The way you did it looks very much the same to the way she does. It is an absolutely awesome dish.
Freita, you should make a video that shows guys how to cook a romantic dinner for their girlfriends. After all, you probably are a ladie's man and get all the chicks! You've probably scored a million times! Anyway, keep making these cooking videos, I always look forward to seeing what you're going to make next.
Ok...you caught me, I lied (a little) I just didnt want to admit anymore then that and since I still have the right to plead the fifth (and enjoy it without being waterboarded over it) I took full advantage of the opportunity (smart butt) lmao!
It is simmilar to our chicken paprika... but without tomato juice and without garlic :) But looks realy great :) Unfortunately I hate tomato juice :-D
Hungarian Paprika Chicken is made not exactly this way. I admit, this one is good too, but of course it is not the real.

krajchek 1 week ago
@freitasex So until it gets warm.
Then only after that you can mix with the hot sauce in the pan.
In stead of TOMATO SAUCE, try using natural tomato and also yellow or green peppers. You can cook them even until they melt. No problem.

Also, may I ask what cookware brand you are using? I've been looking for a nice set of stainless steel. Thanks!
calpaw 1 year ago
@calpaw
How about a compromise?
Use bone-in and skin-on breasts?
Otherwise the cooking time would be way shorter for boneless/skinless breasts and you would loose some flavor because of the shorter cooking time.
The cookware is AllClad and I really like it, thanks!
