Chicken Bog


Ok, you're right. The name doesn't sound appealing. (Some have mistakenly called it 'chicken swamp.') It's not particularly pretty either. But this dish is pure, unadulterated Southern comfort food.

Ingredients

  • 1 small chicken, whole, cleaned
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 300g polish sausage, sliced
  • 4c water
  • pinch of sage
  • salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. Boil the chicken with the diced onions, sage, and some salt and pepper in the water for approximately 90 minutes in a covered stock pot. (I used a Le Creuset Dutch oven.)
  2. Remove the chicken and de-bone. 
  3. Return the meat, sausage and 2 cups of rice to the broth and cook as you would rice. Season and serve hot.
