For a richer sauce, consider using bone-in chicken thighs; their collagen adds body to the sauce. If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, a Dutch oven or oven-safe braising pan works well. Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. Serve with homemade Czech bread dumplings (houskové knedlíky) for an authentic experience.
