Chicken Bog is the traditional name for this South Carolina low country dish. We always make a big batch the day after Thanksgiving, when we're working on our family's Christmas tree farm. —Jean Cochran, Lexington, SC

This was delicious and although not fancy I would serve it to company because the flavors are wonderful. My husband asked why we had never had it before since it is a South Carolina dish and we had been living there for several years. Just having moved to the Dallas area I found a deal on Eckrich brand rope smoked sausage which was very good. I cut the recipe in half pretty much estimating the sausage and chicken amounts and it was perfect. Such an easy recipe that smells divine simmering on the stove. I was tempted to add some seasoning but don't do it, the sausage and onion take care of it. Add a salad and some warm crusty bread and you are all set, believe me.
