Ultimate Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Jerky Recipe
  • Prep Time
    10 mins
  • Cook Time
    2 hrs 30 mins
  • Total Time
    2 hrs 40 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 lb of ground chicken
  • A quarter cup of cayenne pepper sauce, like the iconic Frank's® RedHot®
  • Half a teaspoon of sea salt
  • Half a teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • Half a teaspoon of celery seeds
  • Half a teaspoon of garlic powder
  • Half a teaspoon of onion powder
  • One-fourth teaspoon of pink curing salt
  • Two tablespoons of cayenne pepper sauce, like the beloved Frank's® RedHot®

Step 1

Combine ground chicken, a quarter cup of zesty cayenne pepper sauce, a sprinkle of sea salt, a dash of pepper, a pinch of celery seed, a hint of garlic powder, a touch of onion powder, and a sprinkle of pink curing salt in a spacious mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until they meld together harmoniously. Cover the bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or even better, overnight to allow the flavors to develop and intensify.

Step 2

When ready, use a jerky gun to shape the meat mixture into slender sticks and place them on the racks of your air fryer oven.

Step 3

Before heating, preheat the air fryer to a gentle 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius) to ensure even cooking. Once preheated, position the racks inside the air fryer and set the timer for a leisurely 2 hours. Halfway through cooking, deftly flip the sticks using a fork for uniform crisping. For an extra kick of flavor, delicately brush the remaining two tablespoons of the zesty cayenne pepper sauce over the top of the sticks. Resume air frying for an additional 30 minutes until the sticks are perfectly cooked and irresistibly crispy.

Step 4

After cooking, allow the jerky sticks to cool completely before transferring them to a snug airtight container for storage. This will help preserve their freshness and flavors for longer.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by marinating the chicken strips in a ziplock bag to ensure they soak up all the delicious buffalo sauce flavors.
  2. 2. Use stackable airtight containers to store the marinated chicken strips in the fridge, maximizing space and keeping them fresh.
  3. 3. Consider using silicone food storage bags for a more eco-friendly alternative that also allows for easy cleaning and reuse.
