I’m sure I’ve only eaten homemade. Never had chicken bog in a restaurant. Any ideas? Recipes?

You can find it in Loris SC in October. They have the Loris Bog Off festival 👍🏻

Perleau is dryer than bog, no? More like jambalaya

Williamsburg County pirleau is my favorite and it is not even close. I learned from the late WD Evans at his Red Dog supper club every Tuesday night behind his house in Kingstree. The difference between bog and pirleau is the ratio of meat stock to rice. Bog is about 2 parts stock to one part rice and is very gummy while pirleau is usually 1.5 parts stock to 1 part rice and is not gummy.

I think you may have that backwards. Pirleau is much wetter/ soggier than traditional chicken bog.

Weird how that is. In Horry / Georgetown chicken bog is more flaky and less soggy.

Pretty sure Georgetown was where I first had it. Delish!

I could tell you, but then I would have to hunt you down. 🤪 My recipe has been passed down through the family for at least 70+ years, along with the cast iron pot that has never had anything else cooked in it but the bog.

A - I’m not going to pretend that I know what chicken bog is.
B - but it sounds like a good description of the coot football program.

Chicken bog is pretty good but perlou is the best, in particular in a pressure cooker.

and easy to make. With a generator/inverter I’ve made it at tailgates.
Below is the result, which got thumbs up all around from the family. This version makes about 6/7 good size servings
* 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
* 1 to 2 Tbs Olive Oil**
* 1 onion chopped
* 1 Tbs minced garlic
* 1 tsp smoked paprika
* 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
* 1 tsp Seasoned Salt (I use Lawry’s)
* 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
* 4 tsp Butter Buds or 4 pats of unsalted butter**
* 1 14-16 oz package of smoked sausage (I use Turkey Polska Kielbasa) sliced
* 3 cups (24oz) fat-free chicken broth (optional you can use low-sodium)
* 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice (do not rinse)
DIRECTIONS
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté. Add 2 Tbs Olive Oil. [**Note: if you prefer, you can use 1 Tbs oil plus butter, omitting the butter buds from the recipe. Using butter adds 50 calories and 5.5 grams of fat per serving.]
When the oil is hot, add garlic and onion. Just as the onion becomes translucent (but not browned), add chicken. Cook chicken for about 4 minutes, while adding the spices and stirring occasionally.
Add sliced sausage and cook for 1 more minute. Turn off the Instant Pot. Add chicken broth and rice, stirring lightly (just enough to ensure the rice is completely covered by liquid). Install the lid and turn the vent to sealed. Push the Manual setting, ensure the pressure is on High, and set for 10 minutes. Once complete, allow to vent naturally for 10 minutes and then use Quick Release.
Stir then set for 5 minutes before serving.
My times:
Instant Pot on at: 10:14
Pressure up at: 10:21
Cooked at : 10:33
10min vent naturally: 10:43
5min rest: 10:48
Finished at: 10:50
TOTAL COOK TIME: 35min
Some notes: If you’ve never had Chicken Bog, you may be surprised by the somewhat “mushy” texture of the rice. Don’t worry, you didn’t do anything wrong when it turns out that way. That being said, if you don’t like the texture, you can always decrease the liquid by 1/4 cup and use the Rice setting, instead… but know that you’ll be making Chicken and Rice, not Chicken Bog, and everyone from the Low Country of South Carolina will know it!
Enjoy and,
GO TIGERS!
