CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Season chicken generously on both sides with salt. Heat olive oil in a heavy, deep-sided pan (that comes with a lid) over high heat and brown the chicken well, skin-side down, about 5 minutes; flip and continue to sear until other side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Turn off heat. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and reserve until needed; spoon out excess chicken fat if desired.
• Add onions and a pinch of salt to the same pan and saute over medium until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, and flour and cook, stirring, another 3 to 4 minutes to form a tomato roux. Stir in 1 teaspoon kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer over high heat.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and transfer chicken and accumulated juices back into the pan. Baste the tops with the sauce, cover the pan with the lid, and simmer, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the chicken is no longer pink in the centers and is fork-tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate.
• Skim some fat off the top of the sauce if desired. Whisk heavy cream and sour cream into the sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken and any juices back into the sauce. Simmer, uncovered, basting often, until chicken is heated through and very tender, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

HOT DOG PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons EVOO over medium heat. Add the potatoes and season to taste with salt and pepper. Partially cover and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes, then add the onion, garlic and paprika. Stir to combine and cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the tomato after 5 or 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a small skillet with about 1/2 inch water and heat over medium-high. Add the sausages and heat through. When the water is almost evaporated, remove the sausages and cut on an angle (diagonally) into pieces about 1 inch thick. Wipe the pan, add a drizzle of oil, and crisp up the sliced sausages.
• Stir a few spoonfuls of sour cream into the potatoes and onion to taste, then combine with the sausages and serve, garnished with the fresh herbs.
