Tips to make sure your chicken paprikash comes out tasting perfect:

  • Make sure you are using raw meat (chicken, veal, etc.)
  • Do not brown or pre-cook the meat.
  • Do not add water or broth.
  • The best chicken to use with our sauce is boneless, skinless chicken thighs. One jar of sauce will cook up to 4-5 pounds of chicken thighs.
  • DO NOT USE LESS THAN 4 POUNDS OR IT WILL NOT COOK PROPERLY AND TASTE BITTER.
