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.
