Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Slice chicken breast thinly against the grain.
- In a bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, honey, ginger, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Add chicken slices to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your oven to 170°F (77°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Arrange chicken slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 4-6 hours, or until the jerky is dry and leathery. Flip the jerky halfway through the baking time.
- Let the jerky cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
Notes
- For a chewier jerky, bake for a shorter time. For a crispier jerky, bake for longer.
- Store the jerky in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
