Put in all the butter! This makes a lot of bog so if you take the amount of butter and separate it among all the servings, it really isn’t all that much per serving. Yes, it will affect the flavor and bog is much better on Day 2 than just made. You will absolutely love it and make it again and again. We used to make it a lot camping and on scouting retreats until my family started telling me they were “craving some bog.” Now I make it at least monthly. I put extra onion in mine and put the hot sauce on the table because some like it without the hot sauce.

@SusanBuckley it was from an old Sesame Street episode. I’m sure it was probably pulled for copyright.

Gotta be white, long cooking rice, not quick rice. Makes all the difference.

Fennel sausage is good, but the white looking Johnsonville sausage/brat is the best in this recipe. Try it! Lots of good flavor there!

I agree with you. No tomatoes in bog whether it’s low country, midlands or up country. That’s just a variation on bog. You can also use bacon instead of the sausage, but sausage is more authentic.

Salt pork sounds like an interesting variation. Thanks for the suggestion.

Tomatoes? That is NOT bog, dude. Have eaten Mama's made just like this for years, and its good. BUT, recently had some made by a friends mama and I swan, it was BETTER! (please god, don't tell mama). She had left out the sausage and used salt pork instead, cubed and browned. Try it.

My family has been cooking chicken bogs for as long as I can remember. The recipe is similar to ones I have read here with the exception of a large can or fresh tomatoes and a small can of tomato sauce. I have had it with or without the tomatoes and prefer with tomatoes/

I haven't tried using either of those, but I'll certainly pick them up next time I see them in the store. I live near Charleston, but I don't think I've ever seen either of those in my usual haunts. Next time I wander closer to downtown I'll keep my eyes open.
