You hear about beef jerky and turkey jerky, but what about chicken jerky?! It tastes AMAZING, but is not as commonly found or made as its counterparts. Let's change that, this protein packed super food is just what you need in your life.
This is a classic flavor that works perfectly with the lean chicken breast. The sweetness of the honey and the spice from the chili garlic sauce are what really make this chicken jerky recipe to die for.

Chicken breast is the best part of the chicken to use when making chicken jerky. The breast is the largest part of the bird and very lean. Chicken breast is very inexpensive compared to other types of meat and easily sliced into strips as well.
The most important tool to have when slicing the breast for chicken jerky is a really sharp knife. This will make a huge difference, I am currently using a Victorinox knife that has a really good feel and sharp blade. When it starts getting dull, a quick sharpen and it is just like new.
When making chicken or turkey jerky, I always include curing salt into the marinade to help prevent bacteria in the jerky. Curing salt is mostly table salt with about 6% sodium nitrite, an ingredient that removes water from the meat and the bacteria cells themselves.
This chicken jerky can be dried by using either a dehydrator, oven, or in a smoker. I decided to make this chicken jerky recipe with a Nesco Dehydrator. Which ever method you are using, arrange the chicken strips on the trays or baking sheet lines with cooling racks.
Food safety is very important when making jerky, especially chicken or turkey jerky. Here I have put together a lot of great information on jerky safety and food safety steps you can follow when making homemade turkey jerky.
Start checking the chicken jerky about 4 hours into dehydrating to see if it's finished. Remove 1 piece of jerky from the dehydrator, oven, or smoker and allow it to cool to room temperature for 5 minutes.
Take a piece of chicken jerky and rip it in half by grabbing one end of the jerky and tearing like you would a piece of paper. The jerky should rip in half and white fibers will be easily seen. The white fibers are an indication it is finished drying. If you don't see the fibers and only raw looking meat, it needs to dry longer.
A few years ago, we bit off a bit more than we could chew when we found ourselves with 41 chickens in our backyard coop. We processed most of them at the summer's end and froze them so we could enjoy chicken dinners through the winter. But if I had had this awesome chicken jerky recipe on hand, I would have made a big batch of it too.
If you love beef jerky strips, you've got to give these homemade chicken jerky treats a try. It combines the crunchiness of dried chicken fillets with the flavor of chili spices, resulting in a savory and nutritious snack. And by the way, if you try this and don't like it, you can always use it to make jerky dog treats.
This recipe minimizes the use of artificial preservatives. I used curing salt as a curing agent for making my jerky. This helps the chicken breast keep its flavor and extends the shelf life of the dehydrated chicken.
This recipe uses spices to create sweet, savory and smoky notes. However, you can choose whichever dried herbs or spices you like. Garlic, dried sage, or black pepper are common jerky spices in the north.
Note: I adapted this from an old original handwritten recipe for chicken jerky. But it called for paprika, and I'm allergic to paprika. I tried it with my homemade chili spice mixture and it turned out great.
According to North Dakota State University experts, you can make jerky with table salt. However, this recipe calls for curing salt, which you will find at major supermarkets and online (it is usually pink).
Common curing salt brands in Canada or the United States include Prague Powder, Tender Quick, and Cabela's Speed Cure. We made the recipe with Speed Cure. And I should mention that you can also find curing salt online through Amazon.
Use this recipe, or make it a dogs recipe by leaving out the paprika or chili and just sticking with plain chicken. Chicken dog jerky is a healthy alternative to rawhide treats, and it is also easier on the dog's teeth.
This sounds great and would love to try........ I just want to warn people that garlic and onion are TOXIC to cats and I'm unsure about dogs, but all pets can't handle the spices and seasonings we can, and most pets cannot handle any salt at all, let alone in these amounts, so if you want to give this treat to your pet, just make a batch without the seasonings or salt. Thanks for the recipe, I look forward to trying it.
If you'd like to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, you can place the finished jerky in a 250ºF to 275ºF oven for 5-10 minutes. Keep a close eye and check with a food thermometer often to avoid burning the jerky.
Let the chicken jerky fully cool to room temperature and press between paper towels to remove any excess moisture before packaging for storage. Store in an airtight container or vacuum sealed container.
Recently, chicken jerky has been immensely popular around the house, and it is no secret why. Do-it-yourself chicken jerky creates a delicious snack that is packed with nutrition and it is easier to eat than other types of jerky. The secret to our amazing DIY chicken jerky recipe is a healthy dose of all-natural flavors using a few of our best-selling seasoning blends.
Tip #1: The most important thing about this recipe is to make sure you either have a very sharp knife or a meat slicer that has a straight blade. You will also want to have a sharpener or a honing steel on hand to keep an edge on the knife. We really like using the Victorinox boning knife for slicing chicken to make jerky as the long, thin, flexible blade is ideal for getting consistent slices.
Tip #3: Make plenty, because it disappears fast. It might not even get a chance to cool down before you notice that it's disappearing. Chicken jerky is tender and delicious, and the mild meat is the perfect canvas for bold flavors.
Chicken jerky can be made from most cuts of chicken, but by far the easiest is to use whole, boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The breast meat makes excellent jerky because it has little fat which can cause issues when drying jerky. The large size of the chicken breast compared to other parts also makes the slicing process easier.
A few drops of liquid smoke added to the marinade will amp up the flavor when you are planning to use the oven or a food dehydrator to make chicken jerky. We also use a small amount of curing salt to ensure that bacteria are killed while the jerky is in the danger zone.
Mix all of the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and then pour them over the chicken strips. Gently massage the chicken to ensure that the marinade completely coats all of the chicken, then place it in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours. Longer marinade times result in more flavorful jerky, but letting it sit for more than 24 hours can cause the meat to begin breaking down.
I recommend using a rimmed baking sheet and a wire cooling rack for these. Put the wire rack on top of the baking sheet that way the air can circulate all around the chicken. And then the baking sheet is there to catch any drippings.
Jerky is a great snack to have around. It stores well, makes little mess, and packs a lot of flavor.
Chicken is quickly becoming my new favorite thing to make into jerky. Here ill explain the steps required and share my basic recipe that i use. I find that chicken takes less time to marinate and is healthier for you than red meat. The only potential problem with chicken jerky is that it MUST be cooked to the right temperature to avoid risk of salmonella and other food borne bacterias. I wouldnt suggest using a dehydrator without a temperature setting because you have no way of making sure the chicken is cooked safely.
Ok so the main thing we need is chicken. I buy whatever chicken breast i can find on sale. You want to get something thats not too fatty, and the whole breast is usually cheaper than the pre-cut pieces they sell. My dehydrator can handle 3 large breasts or 4 medium ones.
You will also need:
1 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbs of lemon juice
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 Tbs red pepper
1 tsp black pepper
This time i added some splashes of liquid smoke to the mix and a dash of ginger to try it out. You can add or subtract ingredients as you like until you find a mix you like best. If you dont like soy sauce however, you need to add something for the salt content. Jerky can store for a while due to its low moisture, high sodium content. Salt inhibits bacteria growth and is a staple for jerky recipes.
Take your chicken breast and trim all the fat you can off if it. Fat spoils quickly, and the lower the fat content the longer your jerky can store.
Once its all trimmed up, cut the chicken into strips about 1/4 or smaller. You can put the chicken in the freezer for 15-30 minutes before cutting to help firm up the chicken and make it easier to cut the pieces into consistent size.
Use a very sharp knife to make cutting easier. I have a ceramic knife that cuts through things like a hot knife through butter. If you get a ceramic knife just be careful because they are more delicate and will take your fingers off much more easily.
I have a Nesco american harvest dehydrator with variable temperature settings. Arrange your chicken strips on the dehydrator trays so theres a little bit of space between the pieces. Overlapping pieces will not dry properly and slow the drying time. Set the temperature to at least 160 and put it some place it wont be in the way. The chicken jerky should be dry in 5-8 hours depending on thickness. Mines usually done in about 6 hours, and i let any large pieces sit for an extra hour.
If you dont have a dehydrator you can use your oven as well. I used to use the oven before i got my dehydrator and it works just as well, but takes longer. You line the bottom of the oven with tin foil to catch the drippings. Then you can put the chicken on a wire rack so there is space for air to circulate. Set the oven to 200 and prop the oven door open a little with a wooden spoon or other similar non-meltable utensil. If you have a small fan you can aim it into the oven to help move the air around.
