I'll be doing a lot of backpacking this summer and I like to bring chicken jerky. But store-bought is expensive so I want to make my own. Does anybody have experience with this? Does home-made jerky last long? Can anybody recommend a dehydrator that's not too expensive? Any other tips on homemade jerky would be appreciated too, thanks.

chicken?

a cheap option is to use ground beef formed into strips/patties; got a cheap dehydrator at a garage sale, they're the kind of thing people use a few times then don't want to justify keeping

I've just let it sit for 12-24hrs with seasoning and curing salt, never had any go bad....but that's cause I ended up eating it

Don't use ground beef. That's absolutely fucking retarded. Eye of bottom or basically any cheap cut of meat does well. I have a Hamilton Beach dehydrator and it's great. I've used it almost every day for the past year and I wish I had bought one sooner. You can dehydrate veggies, fruit, herbs, soup, pemmican, and fruit leather aka fruit roll ups. Home made beef jerky lasts for a very long time if stored properly. I'd wager years.

Commercial chicken is fucking disgusting, it's full of bacteria before they are even slaughtered because they live in 3" of shit. I wouldn't make chicken jerky unless it came from birds that lived outside.

well if you cure it with salt and sugar and vacuum pack it after you dehydrate it and you store it in a cold place then maybe.

Done.

Did mine in an oven, never again. 7 HOURS of low heat, money-out-of-the-house bullshit to get about 1kg of meat dried. After that, placed it in a zip-lock bag. Started to mould in 3 weeks. So, to take away:

>make small doses, only what you can eat in about a week
>store them in mason jars if you don't need them
>treat them as cigars out in the open - they rot fast

Vacuum-packing would've been sweet, I didn't have access to that. Thinking of smoking my meat. How well would it fare?

I make them regularly since I hike and kayak often.

Homemade jerky will last you for a few months, to store it longer keep it in the fridge, to store even longer or waterproof then vacuum seal them.

I bought the Excalibur 9 Tray Dehydrator with Timer for around 300 euros, it's a really good product that has never failed me, it has plenty of room to make big batches.

As for other tips you can use any lean meat, and when I mean lean, I mean absolutely no fat. Fat doesn't dehydrate and will rot your meat. This is my process of preparing a batch: I buy 2kg of meat which will give me about 1.20kg of jerky. After removing all of the fat and cutting it into stripes or squares I prepare a bowl with soy sauce and a shitload of spices, this is where you can be creative, or google for recipes. Then I let it stay there for 12 to 24 hours, I remove them and dry the excess and put them in the dehydrator at 72ºC for 3-4 hours, flip them, and put them another 3-4 hours.

Best jerky I ever made was thinly sliced pork that I marinated in a salt-and-sugar solution overnight, then rinsed it, dried it, and smoked it in my Little Chief. Kept for a year in a ziploc bag in the trunk of my car (FYI: not recommended! Hot + humid.). I at it intermittently, half expecting that each time I might get an upset stomach. Never did. It was delicious and kept forever. The brine and the smoke-dehydrating combo is a great inhibitor of mold and bacteria.

I'm really not qualified to say, the curing and drying process my render commercial chicken safe to eat but personally I wouldn't go there. The equivalent of the FDA in the UK recommends not even rinsing chicken before cooking because it increases the risk of cross contamination given its toxic 100% of the time because of the the conditions in which its produced.

Beef inhibits bacteria penetrating the meat which is not the case with pork and chicken, it's why steak is regarded as safe to eat rare but not preformed burgers as any surface bacteria is mixed in. Pork is eaten raw in the form of salami all the time and in a way it's a much better candidate for charcuterie than beef as pork fat keeps while beef fat goes rancid fairly quickly.

What ever you do, find a recipe and follow it and you shouldn't go too wrong.

My great uncle gave me an Excalibur dehydrator a few years back. He owned a pecan farm and used it to make candied pecans or something to take to trade shows. He sold the farm and had no use for it anymore. I use it 3-4 times a year to make venison jerky and occasionally dry some spices or herbs from the garden. It's a great dehydrator but I wouldn't have bought one for just the few times a year that I end up using it.

As for OP asking about pork jerky, I've never had much luck with it. Jerky needs to be made out of the leanest meat possible. That's why venison and lean cuts of chicken, turkey, and beef do well. Most pork is just too fatty to make good jerky out of.. I've even used meat from feral pigs that normally has much less fat content than store bought pork and it was still too fatty.

Looking online, some people recommend sticking the chicken jerky in an oven at 200 degrees for ~10 minutes to make sure bacteria are dead. The dehydrators go to 155-160 degrees which is only 5-10 degrees below the recommended temperature for chicken. So I'm thinking dehydrator until it's almost done, then finishing in an oven, should work.

Oof a few years ago two friends and I went on a 5 day kayaking trip.

Convinced we were going to catch a million fish all we brought was a water pump and 5 lbs of beef jerkey my friends dad made.

Ended up eating nothing but beef jerkey for 5 days and didn't catch a single fish.

I couldn't eat anything that smelled or tasted remotely smokey for a year.

It dehydrated in the smoker. After you marinate it, you rinse off the brine on the outside of the meat and pat it dry (so it isn't dripping) and let it air-dry just a bit (like for 30 minutes to an hour) (forms what they call a pellicule on the outside of the meat) before you put it in the smoker to smoke and dehydrate.

I did that one time, except the "contengincy" food we brought was Gu gel (a glucose energy supplement) and fat free powdered milk. Only food we could reliably find was highbush blueberries that weren't quite ripe yet. Ate tons and tons of those with the fat free powdered milk, reconstituted with filtered lake water. Four days. Oh god. We did manage to gig some frogs and caught some kind of vole things in rat traps each night.

This is just some theorycrafting on my part but you should be able to make some sort of pork pemmican.

If fat is just around the edges and not marbled all into the meat you could cut it off and render it or salt it.

I would not use chicken personally because it is often raised in confinement and attracts pathogenic bacteria. Here in the UK I use lamb to make jerky, particularly lamb leg as it's cheap and had the biggest muscles. Remove any fat and dry it, will keep for years.

If OP is looking for good hiking food, you need the fat for energy. I recommend cheese (raw keeps better at room temperature) and salami. Salami keeps well in the heat because it is raw pork and bacteria, the bacteria stop the bad bacteria from infecting it. You can also take "minute rice" which can be eaten as is.

Yeah, if you buy a REALLY lean cut of pork then you'll be able to make jerky with it. Pork loin is kinda expensive though isn't it? I haven't bought any from the store in a really long time because I get so much pig meat from hunting wild pigs. Most of the pigs I shoot are in the 80-150 pound range so their tenderloins are pretty small. I was quite surprised when the pork jerky I made using meat from the back hams turned out "oily" when the meat appeared to have a very low fat content while I was butchering it. It had a good flavor but I didn't trust it to keep for very long.

Yeah, pork loin is rather spendy. I buy pork top loin at Costco and it's cheaper that way than at the grocery store. Cheaper than buying jerky, though. Pork tenderloin, top loin, sirloin are lean and not too expensive if you buy it at a place like Costco. Beef top sirloin or top round are probably the cheapest lean jerky meat you'll find (excluding the fussy stuff like trim and soup cube etc).

i like using roast beef and i buy as cheap as i can get it. got a dehydrator from the UK that i rigged to work on my local sockets but just remember the plugs when ordering electronics online bought it off amazon on sale.

>Does home-made jerky last long?
no, its too delicious to resist, but yea i guess it does,

remember to check if the dehydrator you are looking at is rated for meat,

and other then that, experiment, have fun with it, explore tastes you like, i made a batch with some spicy miso dip i got from the local sushi joint and it made for a really interesting flavor profile.

you probably will save money in the long run but its still "expensive"

Well like I said, I haven't bought any pork (or beef, for that matter) in at least 6 years since I get enough venison and wild pig meat from hunting. My freezer is running low this year though and I looked at meat prices the last time I went grocery shopping and couldn't believe it... Meat is fucking EXPENSIVE.

Yes, when I hear "loin" I think of "tenderloin", not the "lesser" cuts of meat from the rear skirt of the animal but still.. I'm not gonna pay $4/lb for meat that I'm just gonna marinate and run through the dehydrator, that jerky will be over $15/lb by the time I'm done with it.

Just use salt and sugar to make your brine. An electric smoker doesn't cost much to run. That's the cheapest way to make your jerky, without a lot of added cost. If you want to get fancy with your marinade, you can go crazy with the cost I guess. Unless you're paying yourself by the hour, I don't know how you're getting up to the $15/lb mark if you're only paying $4 per pound to buy the dang meat.

6lbs of meat only yields about 1.5lbs of jerky for me once I'm finished dehydrating it.

Generally 1 pound of jerky = 3 pounds of meat.

Well, shit! You're right. Wouldn't take long to get up on $15 per pound. That went right over my head.

There will be an immense amount of bitching and moaning either way. Your call.

I've made 2 batches of jerky from wild canada goose. First time with soy sauce based marinade in a counter top dehydrator. 2nd was teriyaki in an electric smoker. 1st batch was my favorite.

Did you use the whole birds or just the breasts?

Just the breasts for the jerky. First time I was a little wasteful removing any fat and silver skin. I got better the second time.

my shiitake jerky. 2 heads of garlic, soy sauce, balsam vinn, sake, pepper, cayenne, red pepper flake, chili powder, hot madras curry powder, onion powder. let it soak over night so it absorbs all the liquid then dehydrate for a few hours. this shit is gonna be so good. my trail mix game is unmatched.

Lol yes I was asking about the jerky, didn't mean to imply you wasted them. Someone who takes the time to make jerky can use the whole animal of that I'm sure. Thanks for answering anon.

>heart

i've done this before too, no bloody taste at all but it can be a bit gummy.

ends up more like biltong.

heart, or whatever the cheapest /toughest cut of steak works best

some can be tough even without being cooked/dried, I'd likely end up with teriyaki shoe

I just saw something where someone used a food processor to make it into almost a paste, and then formed them into strips....I like that idea

I've been making my own jerky for about 6-7 years now. Unfortunately I can't help you with chicken, although I have an industrial slicer, so I don't imagine it would be any different with chicken than with the beef and venison I usually use. I marinate with mostly pepper and Worcestershire sauce, paprika and crushed red peppers for something with a kick. Meat thickness depends on how long I want it to last, thicker pieces won't keep as long unless you dry it out completely, in which case it becomes tough and brittle. I prefer it juicy, though still fully jerked. It will only last a few days, but it disappears quickly at gatherings, so that's usually not an issue.

Depends on how quickly you plan on going through it. I have some I keep in a bag in the car, going on a year, vacuum sealed, still good. I replace it every year. It's always super dry and not the best, but I don't waste it, and if I was stranded and low on options, it would be awesome. Personally I prefer the stuff that doesn't last long, easier to chew also.
