1/2 - 1 whole fryer
Prairie sausage (sm.)
Salt and pepper
Rice
1/2 - 1 stick butter

Boil fryer until tender. Take meat off the bones. Place meat back in the boiler. Add sausage, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil; add rice and butter to mixture (1 cup of rice to every 2 1/2 cups broth). It is important to let simmer 15-20 minutes without taking lid off. Remove from heat and let set at least 15 minutes without removing lid. Do not remove lid during this time to keep flavor in.
