Ok, I LOVE jerky. I used to buy Beef Jerky whenever I had access to it. (Which wasn't very often living in the EU let me tell you.)

And then the other day someone on a forum started talking about making your own jerky.

And I though:"That's an option?!!!!?????.....Offcourse that's an option why didn't I ever think of that before! I'll have to go and try that

So I did. I used chicken for the meat (cheap and the first time is a bit of an experiment so I didn't want to spend too much money on it.) and made a sauce out of Soy sauce, Pepper, Chilli Pepper, Olive oil, Salt, Garlic and Ginger root.

I sliced the chicken, let it sit in the sauce for an hour or 2 and hung the strips in my oven at 80 Celsius with the oven door open. I let it hang in there for a few hours (say around 6) and tasted the result this morning.

It's EXCELLENT! (A seems I went a little overboard on the garlic but hey...you live and learn).

I'll be doing this more often from now on.

Anyone make their own jerky? What do you use in the flavouring?
