## Ingredients

- onion, chopped
- oil
- Hungarian sweet paprika
- chicken thighs and legs, washed and clean
- Delikat (Hungarian mixture of vegetables)
- 3 bowl water
- 5 cups flour
- 6 eggs
- sour cream
- 3 tbsp flour

## Instructions

1. Chop the onion.
2. Heat a lot of oil in a pot and add the chopped onion.
3. Add Hungarian sweet paprika to the onion and mix together.
4. Add washed and clean chicken thighs and legs to the pot.
5. Add Delikat instead of salt to the chicken and onion mixture, and mix everything together.
6. Add plain cold water (about 3 bowls) to the chicken, covering it.
7. Lower the heat and let the chicken cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
8. While the chicken is cooking, prepare homemade noodles (nokadli) by mixing 5 cups of flour with 6 eggs.
9. Add as much water as needed to the flour and egg mixture to form the noodle dough; do not measure precisely.
10. After the chicken has cooked for 1 hour, continue cooking for another 25 minutes.
11. Whisk together sour cream, 3 tablespoons of flour, and some water to create a thickening mixture.
12. Add the sour cream and flour mixture to the chicken paprikash.
13. Cook the chicken paprikash with the thickening mixture just until it gets a little thicker, without cooking too long or too high.
14. Boil the homemade noodles by dropping them into water; they are done about a minute after they float to the top.

## Tips

- Use Delikat instead of salt for a richer flavor.
- For the noodles, add water as needed until the consistency is right.
- Do not overcook the chicken paprikash once the sour cream and flour mixture is added; cook until slightly thicker.
