Time 4h40m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (turkey breast and venison works well also)
2 1/4 teaspoons tenderizing salt (e.g. Mortons Tenderquick)
2 1/4 teaspoons pickling salt
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning, if you enjoy it spicy (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix the salts, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder together and put into a salt shaker; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 150°F.
  • Cut chicken into 1/8th inch strips or 1/8th inch cubes (thickness doesn't have to be exact, can be a little thicker).
  • On a cutting board, sprinkle each strip evenly and heavily then with a meat mallet, rolling pin or pan, pound mixture into chicken. Turn chicken over and repeat.
  • Place strips in single layer on a oven-safe metal cookie cooling rack (fine mesh or closely spaced bars work best).
  • Cook chicken until dry but not brittle, 4 to 5 hours, rearranging once.
  • Cooking times for turkey or venison are the same.
  • Refrigerate for storage.
