This is a recipe I got from my paternal grandfather, by way of my mother. Pa would never share his recipe, so mom had to secretly watch him one day as he made it to catch the ingredients he used. It's not exactly 100% like his, but it's the closest we can get. Use a generous amount of paprika, try shells or egg noodles for pasta, and for chicken pieces, try legs and thighs. It's a bit on the greasy side, and it may have a bit too much garlic for some, so tweak the recipe according to your and your family's taste.
Ingredients:
2 -3 lbs chicken
1/2 cup butter
1 good-sized onion
6 cloves garlic
