shameless bump
Try this book Mary Bell’s Complete Dehydrator Cookbook. ISBN 0–688–13024.She also has a webite,I think it is call The Dry Store.
You could also look up a recipe for chicken jerky. I’ve never done anything but beef but know it can be done with a variety of meats including turkey, buffalo, elk, venison, ostrich, and reindeer. <don’t ask> <grin>
CARREY!!!!!! You GO Girl!!!!!
That’s amazing what a great price you got! You’ve been busy putting all that up, whichever way you’ve decided to do it!
I’m jealous.
I have never done chicken strips, but the excalibur dehydrator website has a section on making jerky, including chicken. I also read someplace that you could marinate the chicken, or dry rub for seasoning. You could also call your local extension agent (family consumer science/nutrition department) and ask them how… and to send info/pamplets.
Good luck! AND… WOW! What a deal!
from Excalibur website:
Poultry Jerky:
For something uniquely different, try cooked chicken or turkey jerky. For this kind of jerky, you can use the same cures as you would for meat. Since poultry is very fibrous, expect your jerky to be somewhat more brittle than its beef counterpart. Dry at 145ºF until dehydrated throughout (about 4 hours).
