Ingredients
 
 

  • 2.2 lb whole chicken legs skin-on (drumsticks and thighs)
  • 1 tbsp goose fat
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper diced
  • 3 tsp Hungarian paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 17 fl oz chicken stock about 2 cups + 2 tbsp
  • 2.6 oz sour cream about ⅓ cup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Season the chicken with the salt and black pepper.
  • Heat the goose fat in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the chicken skin-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook for 4–5 minutes, until softened and golden brown. Add a little of the chicken resting juices if needed to deglaze the pan.
  • Add the green bell pepper and cook for 2–3 minutes, until softened.
  • Add the Hungarian paprika and cook for 30–60 seconds, stirring constantly.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
  • Return the chicken and any resting juices to the Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 45 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  • Remove from the oven and place the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Simmer uncovered until the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency.
  • Add a few spoonfuls of the hot sauce to the sour cream in a small bowl and mix until smooth.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Stir the sour cream mixture into the sauce until fully combined.
  • Serve immediately.
