Why I Love This Recipe

Bone In or Bone Out? That is the question I am trying to figure out when it comes to Traditional Paprikash. I have read many places that traditional paprikash, skinless & boneless chicken thighs are used, and other’s say to keep the bone in. Traditionally however, all agree it is to be served with Nokedli, a dumpling like egg noodle, which is very easy to make. It is very similar to German spätzle. I decided to use thighs and drumsticks with the bone and serve over egg noodles since my company that was supposed to come over had to cancel last moment and my girlfriend had bought some egg noodles the other day, so why not use them. I have listed the recipe to make nokedli, if you wish to make the more traditional dish, serve over dumplings, however these sides are also commonly used, rice, egg noodles or potatoes. (If cooking gluten-free, serve with rice, potatoes or gluten-free noodles or dumplings.) This recipe will easily work with boneless, skinless chicken pieces as well, if that’s what you prefer.

Questions, Comments & Reviews


Sounds very interesting. I have never made chicken paprikash and I don't know why. I will have to try this out some day. We eat a LOT of chicken.
