Chicken jerky is a protein-rich snack made from lean cuts of chicken, seasoned with a blend of spices, and dehydrated to achieve a chewy, savory texture. Originating from the tradition of preserving meat, chicken jerky is a popular snack in many cuisines, especially in American and East Asian food cultures. Typically low in fat and carbohydrates, it's a convenient option for those looking to fuel up on protein. It often contains simple ingredients like salt, pepper, garlic, and sometimes a touch of sweetness from honey or brown sugar. While it’s generally a healthy choice, some varieties may contain added sugars or preservatives, so it's important to check the nutrition label. High in protein and satisfying in flavor, chicken jerky is a great option for an on-the-go snack, post-workout recovery, or as part of a high-protein diet.
