Pour the thickened paprika sauce over the chicken and onion rings. Serve immediately with hot cooked white rice or egg noodles.
For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces.
Hungarian sweet paprika is recommended for its vibrant color and mild, sweet flavor. You can also use a combination of sweet and smoked paprika.
Adjust the amount of paprika and garlic salt to your taste.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more hot water to thin it out.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt for extra creaminess.
