Chicken jerky
I LOVE jerky! But I hate how damn expensive it is. I bought a smoker this summer and up until now all it;s been used for is ribs, pulled pork and smoked chicken legs.
I remembered seeing chicken jerky for sale somewhere at one time and thought, "hell, I could do that".
It';s actually pretty damn easy!
Cut the chicken up as thin as possible, then get out a meat mallet and pound it out a bit ore to make it even thinner. Then marinate it in your choice of flavors. My favorites recently have been Jamaica jerk, or a roasted garlic and pepper marinade I make.
Then dry it off and hang it in the smoker for 3-6 hours until it's dry but not brittle.
This stuff is like crack! Living on chicken breasts and broccoli for so damn long can leave you feeling like you will never enjoy chicken again, well this might change your mind.
If anyone has a smoker I recommend you give this a try, if you like jerky, you won't be disappointed.

AnonSounds like the treats I feed my dog !
I dunno, I eat lots of chicken, but just cant do jerky sausage or turkey in that form.
I need beef jerkey, and pork sausage. Leave the chicken to whole cooked meat
I thought the same thing till I tried it. The taste and texture is spot on! Haven't run into a single person yet who's tried it, who didn't ask for more.
