The hubs has been on a jerky kick recently, especially lean turkey and chicken. At $6 or more for a little 3 oz. store-bought package I decided to bust out our dehydrator and try to make some myself. I decided to make a marinade that had NO liquid smoke (the smell and taste grosses me out), so I used some spicy chili paste, garlic, honey, and soy sauce.
The verdict? Four thumbs up (two from the hubs, two from me). I spent $10 on chicken (5 lbs. @ $1.99/lb) and we already had the rest of the ingredients. After dehydration, there was more than 25 oz. of jerky. More than 8 servings of 3-oz. portions – which would probably cost $50 or more at the supermarket. And it’s spicy and delicious! I don’t even like jerky and I snuck a few pieces after they were done.
