Trial Run for Chicken Bog

I have been wanting to try this for some time. I got a recipe for the South Carolina Low Country Chicken Bog off the internet. I already had a wash pot cooker, it was just a mater of doing it. Before I invested in a full pot of bog, a trial run was in order. The trial made enough to feed 12 people, much more than Becky and I could eat. Fortunately this dish freezes very well. Some say it is even better when it is reheated. 

The recipe is real simple. Chicken, smoked sausage, white rice butter and spices. The onion was not on the recipe but I added anyway. An onion can make a bad recipe taste good. 

Start with a well seasoned 20 gallon pot. 

This is my homemade wash pot cooker stand made from a 25 gallon drum and a Gastobac burner. 

This is what it looks like when it is finished. 

I asked Ronnie Dupree to come over and give it a taste test. 

I thought that it was good but maybe a little spicy for some people.  The next time I will cut back on the red and black pepper a bit. You can always add heat if you like it hotter. 

I also want to try a sweet potato chili in the wash pot. We have cooked this dish several times in the crock pot and it is very good. You can also freeze the chili. Both of these dishes are great for the cold weather.
