Ingredients
  • 1 & 1/2 pounds (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of all visible fat
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon powdered dehydrated onions
  • 4 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Ingredients
macros
  • 1 & 1/2 pounds (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of all visible fat
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon powdered dehydrated onions
  • 4 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
  1. Partially freeze the chicken breasts, then cut into 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick slices or strips using a very sharp knife or meat slicer. Try to cut them as uniformly as possible for even drying. Place the strips in a large ziptop plastic freezer bag.
  2. Whisk the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl and carefully pour over the strips in the bag. Squish everything around to coat, then seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, turning and squishing the bag about halfway through to ensure even coverage with the marinade.
  3. Drain off the marinade and place the strips in a single layer on dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at 160°F (71°C) for 6 to 8 hours When done, the jerky should just bend but not snap.
  4. Remove the jerky from the dehydrator, arrange on baking sheets in a single layer, and place in a preheated 275°F (135°C) oven for 15 minutes. Allow the jerky to cool completely before placing in an airtight container.

Marinated Jerky | Commercial Dehydrators

This lightly seasoned jerky is a great introduction to dehydrated meats. This recipe calls for the meat to be brined, which means the meat is soaked in a salt/sugar solution to tenderize it prior to cooking or dehydrating. It is preferable to freeze the meat before slicing.
