Ask where you can find the best chicken bog in any other state and you’ll probably get a blank stare.
It’s clearly a South Carolina thing.
The one-pot dish of chicken, sausage and rice is most popular in Horry County, where it has been a staple for at least a century.
It’s so popular that the city of Loris has a “Bog Off” every fall that honors the dish and draws thousands from the region to sample it.
And of course, there’s quite a bit of debate about how you should make the food item. The dish itself is moist, or boggy. It’s believed its name comes from the low-lying wetlands where the meal originated.
