This is a recipe I found not too long ago that I like.  The recipe title was
actually "Chicken Paprikash" (the name is supposedly of Hungarian origin).

Ingredients:
- 5 lb. whole chicken
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1.5 halved onions
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 cloves garlic
- Olive oil
- Salt
Sauce ingredients:
- 2 tbsp chicken fat (or butter)
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 cup sour cream
- Egg noodles or spaetzle
- 1 minced onion
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 quart hot chicken broth

This can be cooked different ways..  I've been just frying it all up in a pan,
but these are the directions from the recipe I found:
1. Mix sweet and smoked paprika with salt and rub this all over the chicken.
Refrigerate overnight.
2. Preheat your oven to 450 F.
3. Stuff onions, thyme and cloves into the chicken.
4. Truss the bird.
5. Drizzle chicken with olive oil and bake on a roasting pan for 20 minutes.
6. Reduce heat to 325 F and roast one hour, or until finished.
7. Remove chicken and let rest half an hour.
8. Reserve some of the fat to used in making the sauce.
9. Don't forget to make the Spaetzle.
10. Combine chicken fat with garlic and onion on medium heat in a sauce pot.
11. Add a pinch of salt and cook for five minutes.
12. Add paprika and cook 30 seconds.
13. Stir in flour with a wooden spoon.
14. Stir constantly while cooking another two minutes.
15. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth.
16. Last, stir in the sour cream and remove from heat.
17. Adjust paprika to taste.
18. Add Spaetzle to the sauce.
19. Serve chicken with sauce and dumplings.
