Easy Chicken Bog Recipe: A Southern Comfort Food Classic

Ingredients

• 6 cups water
• 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 0.5 pound smoked sausage of your choice, sliced
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 tablespoons Italian-style seasoning
• 2 cubes chicken bouillon

Instructions

1. Gather all the necessary ingredients for this chicken bog recipe.
2. In a large pot, combine water, chicken, onion, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using an instant-read thermometer.
3. Carefully transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before handling.
4. Skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid and measure out 3 ½ cups into a 6-quart saucepan. Discard the remaining liquid.
5. Remove and discard the chicken skin and bones. Chop the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
6. Add the chopped chicken, sausage, rice, Italian seasoning, and bouillon to the saucepan with the cooking liquid. Cook over medium-low heat for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to low, cover, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 10 to 20 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to your preferred consistency.
