Chicken thighs with paprika and chickpeas
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Smoked paprika gives food a pleasant aroma, taste, and color. The flavor of this spice reminds me of summer and the taste of barbeque outdoors. The combination of chicken meat with chickpeas turned out to be very successful. Use canned chickpeas or cook them beforehand. You can bake chicken drumsticks or thighs. Serve the dish ready to eat.
