CHICKEN BOG



Chicken Bog image

I am not sure of the origin of this recipe. It is a cross between a casserole and a stew: chock-full of chicken, sausage, rice and onion. A really good cold-weather comfort food. When you're feeling 'bogged' down, make Chicken Bog to cheer up! This recipe is what is called 'Low Country cooking.' It is a term used in the coastal regions of South Carolina. Chicken Bog is even served at restaurants in South Carolina along with other local favorites.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds ground chicken breast
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground saffron mixed in 2 tablespoons hot water
6 small sweet peppers (red, yellow, orange)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium onions, finely grated
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped (1 cup)
1/4 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped (2 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Add chicken, turmeric, salt, saffron mixture, peppers, garlic, onions, jalapeno, parsley and mint to a mixing bowl and mix well by hand. Add to a food processor and blend until the mixture gains a paste-like consistency, about 2 minutes.
  • Wet hands with water so chicken mixture does not stick to your hands. Take a 5-ounce scoop of the chicken mixture and roll it into a cylindrical or oblong shape by pressing it together. Thread a skewer through the mixture. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  • Preheat a grill or broiler. Grill kebabs for about 3 minutes on each side or broil for 4 minutes on each side.

MIDDLE EASTERN-STYLE GRILLED CHICKEN KABOBS

You'll make these flavorful chicken kabobs all summer long.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (reduce to ½ teaspoon for less heat)
Zest from one lemon
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, from one lemon
1¾ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 garlic cloves, minced
2½ to 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1½-inch pieces (see note)
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
Vegetable oil, for greasing the grill

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Thread the chicken onto metal skewers, folding if the pieces are long and thin, alternating with the red onions. Be sure not to cram the skewers. (Note: You'll need between 6-8 skewers.) Place the kabobs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the marinade all over the meat, coating well. Cover and refrigerate at least eight hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. To grease the grill, lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated. Grill the chicken kabobs until golden brown and cooked through, turning the skewers occasionally, 13 to 15 minutes. (The yogurt marinade makes these kabobs prone to sticking to the grill grates; if necessary, use a metal BBQ spatula to scrape underneath the kabobs and release them.) Transfer the kabobs to a platter and serve.
  • Note: I've specified boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe; they're juicier and more flavorful than chicken breasts, and they work better in this type of yogurt and lemon-based marinade. They're also much easier to cook without drying out.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs: This will make the chicken easier to cook and will help prevent it from drying out.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from burning or drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Chicken Barg is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables. The chicken can also be used in other dishes, such as salads, sandwiches, or wraps. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home.
