Spicy Chicken Jerky

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Chicken Jerky.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab your food processor or blender and toss in the finely chopped onion, brown sugar, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, chopped thyme, sesame oil, minced garlic, ground allspice, and sliced habanero pepper.

2. Step 2

   Blend everything together until you have a smooth and fragrant marinade that will elevate your chicken to new heights.

3. Step 3

   Next, take a large resealable bag and add your chicken strips.

4. Step 4

   Pour in about three-quarters of that delicious marinade, seal the bag tightly, and give it a gentle squeeze to remove any excess air.

5. Step 5

   Pop the bag in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for at least an hour—this is where the magic happens as the flavors infuse into the meat.

6. Step 6

   When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven’s broiler to get it nice and hot.

7. Step 7

   After the chicken has marinated, take it out of the bag and discard the leftover marinade.

8. Step 8

   Lay the chicken strips out on a baking sheet, making sure they’re evenly spaced.

9. Step 9

   Broil them for about 10 to 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and develop a lovely golden color.

10. Step 10

    While the chicken is broiling, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and heat it gently until it’s warmed through.
