Why isn't chicken jerky as popular as turkey jerky?

Because the type of trashy people who would enjoy it are too poor to afford it

>>21476125 (OP)
It's not as good

>>21476125 (OP)
turkey jerky has fun alliteration.

Chicken is good on its own. Turkey is only edible when it's been almost carbonized and zammed with spices so you can taste something.

I've looked into it a lot, but it's just plain harder to make safely.

Most commercially available chicken is still pretty risky to use from a bacteria/salmonella standpoint. Pretty much unless you're sourcing direct from a known provider that provides it to you as fresh as possible to cut down on contamination.

It's certainly possible for sure and I've had decent success with making a batch here or there, but honestly it just feels like too much risk to gamble on when making jerky when Beef or even Turkey responds better to curing and drying than chicken does.

you're supposed to cook it fully then dry it so it comes out like stringy shit

Ahh ok that solves the bacteria problem, but yeah, cooking then drying it like that sounds like it'd be like chewing a fuckin dog treat.

expensive to make
