Chicken biltong is a flavorful, high-protein snack originating from South African cuisine, traditionally made by curing and air-drying strips of seasoned meat. Unlike beef biltong, chicken biltong is lighter in texture and often quicker to dry, while retaining the signature bold taste of spices like coriander, pepper, and vinegar. Rich in lean protein and low in fat, it provides sustained energy and supports muscle repair, making it ideal for active lifestyles or those seeking healthier alternatives to processed snacks. It’s naturally gluten-free and often free of artificial preservatives, depending on preparation methods. However, it can be high in sodium due to the curing process, so it’s recommended to enjoy in moderation. Whether as a post-workout pick-me-up or portable snack, chicken biltong delivers both satisfying flavor and nutritional benefits rooted in South Africa’s rich culinary traditions.
