Chicken Bog · Charleston

Pee Dee Lowcountry one-pot of bone-in chicken simmered with smoked sausage and rice, finished with enough chicken stock that the rice 'bogs' down. A communal dish for harvest dinners and church suppers in the Carolinas.

Chicken bog has been a Pee Dee Lowcountry tradition (just north of Charleston) since at least the 18th century, named for the way the rice becomes bogged down in chicken stock during the slow simmer. The annual Loris Bog-Off festival has run since 1979. Bertha's Kitchen and Hannibal's Kitchen serve the canonical Charleston interpretation alongside red rice and gullah staples.
