Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Chicken Bog.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious chicken and rice dish, grab a large pot and fill it with water, then add a whole chicken, a chopped onion, and a sprinkle of salt.

2. Step 2

   Place the pot over medium heat and bring everything to a lively boil.

3. Step 3

   Once you see those bubbles dancing, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about an hour.

   You’ll know the chicken is ready when the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

5. Step 5

   When the chicken is perfectly cooked, carefully transfer it to a cutting board and let it cool for about 10 to 15 minutes.

   While it cools, skim off any fat from the cooking liquid, then measure out 3 1/2 cups of that flavorful broth into a 6-quart saucepan, tossing the rest aside.
