Best Bulgarian Chicken Recipes
BULGARIAN CHICKEN
Its more about the method than the ingredients. Use a dutch oven on the stovetop and cook it slow, but not so slow as to mimic a crockpot. I do like to turn up the heat in the beginning to crisp up the chicken, but you don't have to! Also, I love to add more paprika and sometimes throw in a jalapeno whole (discard at end of cooking).

Steps:
- In dutch oven on stovetop, heat up olive oil. (If you have a thick one, use vegetable oil because it has a higher tolerance of temperature... won't burn out as quick as olive oil). Brown chicken lightly.
- Add all remaining ingredients except for parsley. Stir well.
- Cover tightly and let cook over low - low / medium heat, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender (about 2 hours).
- Turn off heat. Add parsley, mix, cover and let standd for 25-30 minutes before serving.
- ** Sauce will not be thick. If you want a thicker sauce, during last 5 minutes of cooking, mix 1-2 Tbs cornstarch or flour in separate bowl along with a few ladels of hot broth from pot. Mix away all lumps and add mixture back to pot.
VARNA-STYLE BRAISED CHICKEN (BULGARIAN DISH)
This is a popular Balkan chicken dish smothered in rich, herby, sherry tomato sauce with mushrooms that we love having at home. (Edited: moved garlic cloves and onions to include under "For the sauce" to coincide with procedure as spotted by KateL. No actual change to recipe has been made.)
