Paprikás csirke · Budapest
Chicken thighs braised with paprika and onions, finished with sour cream stirred in off the heat, served with nokedli (egg dumplings) to soak the sauce.
Chicken paprikash dates to the same late-19th-century period as Szeged paprika's industrialisation. The sour cream finish (tejföl) is the Hungarian signature; the dish migrated west with Jewish immigrants and became a staple of Ashkenazi cooking.
