Every year on the anniversary of my father's death I celebrate his life with a Hungarian feast. This was the main course. I got my husband to clean, skin and joint the chicken (I'm such a baby about this bit). The flavor was amazing, and the smoked paprika really made this special. As I don't mix chicken with dairy for relibious reasons I left out the sour cream, but no one complained, the flavor was wonderful. I'm going to make this many times in the future, thanks!
