I got this recipe from my husband’s aunt, who got it from my husband’s grandmother. It is a staple for any time the whole family gets together because it serves a lot of people and is easy to fix. It is definitely a low country South Carolina dish.
Cook hen in a large pot with water and the salt. The hen will take several hours to become tender.
Once chicken is cooked, cool and de-bone the hen. Shred the chicken and set aside.
In a large pot (cast iron works really well), saute onion in 1/2 stick of butter/margarine.
Add the chicken broth (you can use the water the hen cooked in or use store-bought), sausage and chicken.
Add pepper.
Bring to a good boil.
Add rice and bring back to a good boil.
Stir and cover and turn to simmer.
Cook for 30 minutes with a lid on. Do not stir or peek during the 30 minutes.
Once 30 minutes is up lift lid and place the remaining one stick of butter/margarine on top and replace the lid.
Once butter/margarine is melted, it is ready to eat.

This is a great recipe! The rice is exceptional, so nice and moist. The only change I made was I used smoked sausage that my husband makes. It does make a lot, I figure the cost per seving is probably about $0.50. Gotta love that!
