Tips:

  • To ensure that the chicken cigars are crispy and evenly cooked, make sure to use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with hot oil.
  • For a healthier alternative, you can bake the chicken cigars in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Feel free to customize the filling of the chicken cigars to your liking. You can add different herbs, spices, or vegetables to create a unique flavor combination.
  • To make the paprika sauce, use a good quality paprika powder. Hungarian paprika is a popular choice for its rich flavor and vibrant color.
  • If you don't have sour cream on hand, you can substitute it with plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise.
