Chicken Bog Recipe

1 large chicken- removed as much skin as you can
1 large onion WHOLE. skin removed .
1 large pack of "yellow rice" its seasoned rice.
2 cups of long grain white rice
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp celery salt
1 TBSP black pepper (adjust to taste...we like a lot)
1 lb sausage ( I use hilshire farms kielbasa)cut into bitesize pieces

In your biggest stock pot place the chicken,the onion, the seasonings, and enough water to completely cover the chicken. Boil that sucker until its falling off the bones.. remember to add water as it evaporates. Remove the chicken and the onion (you can throw the onion out), DO NOT throw out the broth. Put the lid on the pot and refrigerate. Allow the broth to cool and the fat to glob up on the surface. Remove as much fat as you can.. You dont want greasy bog.Meanwhile remove the chicken from the bones and shred into manageable pieces.We call this "pickin the chickin".

Measure out 8 cups of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the yellow rice pack and the white rice. Allow to boil for 10 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and the sausage. Lower the heat and simmer until the rice is done.. It will have kind of a "gummy" texture.

Round here chicken bog is served with canned green beans, white bread and apple sauce, fried cornbread and black eyed peas. Sweet tea and 15 layer chocolate cake are not optional.
