Time 4h30m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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 1/4 teaspoons cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Mix the salts, Cajun seasoning, cayenne 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.
