Mix salt, pepper and paprika. Sprinkle over chicken pieces.
Heat oil in a skillet large enough to hold pieces in a single layer.When oil is hot, brown chicken 3 - 4 minutes for each side. Add onions and wine, stirring around and under chicken. Add herbs. Cover and cook at a simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir in gooseberries and cook 10 minutes more, or until chicken is done.
Serve hot, with sauce spooned over.
TIP: To have small amounts of wine available for cooking, decent quality boxed wine. It keeps well without refrigeration.
