Chicken Jerky Recipe
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken breasts, bones & skin removed (also works well for turkey, both farmed & wild)
Jerky Marinade
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ⅛ cup brown sugar
- 5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 6 star anise
- 2 tablespoons chopped ginger
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons red miso
Directions
Our chicken jerky recipe is a bold one - garlic, ginger and star anise combine for layers of flavor.
Step One | Slice Jerky
- Use your Jerky Slicing Tool to cut the chicken breasts into uniform strips of meat. We like to use our jerky slicer.
Step Two | Marinate
- Combine the marinade ingredients.
- Place the jerky strips into your Canister or Bag, then pour in the marinade.
- Seal and refrigerate 6-12 hours. If you're not marinating with a vacuum sealer, and are using a freezer bag or bowl covered with plastic wrap instead, marinate at least 12 hours - the vacuum marinates the meat faster and more thoroughly.
Step Three | Dehydrate
- Once the jerky has marinated at least 6 hours, lay the strips onto your Dehydrator trays, leaving at least a half inch of space between them.
- Dehydrate for 6-8 hours, or until the jerky is completely dry, but still flexible.
- Enjoy!
