South Carolina Chicken Bog Recipe (2024)

Love Southern cuisine? Then you must try this quick and easy Chicken Bog Recipe from South Carolina!

When I visited Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for the first time last month, I had no idea that I would be noshing on alow country favorite, Chicken Bog—a dish that the majority of the US has never heard of. As I came to learn, Chicken Bog isunique to the Carolina’s, being most popular in Horry County, where the annual Loris Bog-Off Festival is held.

So what is Chicken Bog? It's a delicious combination of chicken, sausage, and rice, that's similar to Jambalaya in appearance, without the tomatoes and spices. Chicken Bog is a stick-to-your ribs Southern staple that's meant to be shared — which is why I brought the recipe home with me to make for my family, and to pass on to you!

Traditionally, Chicken Bog uses a whole chicken which is boiled until tender, cooled, and then placed in another pot with sausage, rice, and onion. As a busy mom, I don't have time for that, so I took a few shortcuts that ultimately took the cooking time to under 30 minutes. The first sub istheuse of a rotisserie chicken with the skin removed and shredded. The second is Success® Whole Grain Brown Rice (who I've partnered with to bring you today'sawesome chicken bog recipe post),a long-time secret of mine for preparing perfectly cooked rice in minutes.

I subbedSuccess® Whole Grain Brown Rice for white becauseit's 100% whole grain and gluten free.The chewy texture and nut-like flavor provides a tasty alternative from other rice products and is guaranteed perfect every time—and yes, it cooks in10 minutes or less!
