Chicken Jerky? ls it possible and does it taste good?

Question

I make a lot of beef jerky and I was just curious if anyone has ever tried making chicken jerky. Has it tasted good? Are there risks of salmonella? Any secrets to a good recipe?

Answer 1

3 chickens, skinned and white meat only

1/2 c. soy sauce

1/2 c. Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp. garlic salt

2/3 tsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. seasoned salt

2 tsp. onion powder

2/3 tsp. black pepper

Dice meat in 3/8 inch tick strips. Remove any fat or muscle. Mix in large bowl, all ingredients then add meat. Marinate overnight. Place on cookie sheets on low heat in oven for about 5-6 hours until dry, but not brittle (or over wood stove for 2-3 days. Be sure it is dry before you store because of the bacterial growth in chicken.
