Toms Oven Made Cajun Chicken Jerky Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Cut chicken with the grain into very thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, while still mostly frozen.
• Mix soy sauce, teriyaki marinade, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, lemon juice, smoked salt, ginger, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper together in a small bowl. Place chicken strips in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over the meat and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Prepare a jelly roll pan by placing a wire rack on top and coating it with cooking spray.
• Place chicken strips on the rack as close together as possible without having them touch.
• Bake in the preheated oven, flipping halfway, until each piece is a uniform dark orange color and dry inside when cut in half, 4 to 5 hours total.

Steps:

• Combine chicken strips, marinade, and Cajun seasoning in a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or up to overnight.
• Measure skewers to fit across the air fryer basket, slightly overlapping the edge. Trim off excess length.
• Preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C) for 10 minutes.
• Thread chicken strips onto skewers, leaving room in between each strip, while the air fryer is preheating.
• Air fry for 1 hour 15 minutes. Adjust cooking time as most air fryers have a maximum setting of 30 minutes. Rearrange the skewers during the reset time.
• Increase temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and air fry for an additional 15 minutes.
• Remove strips to a paper towel-lined storage container. Seal. Allow to rest overnight before serving.
