What Makes This Dish So Tasty
Cooking Tips
- Marinate the chicken well for at least an hour to deepen the flavor.
- Check the jerky a few minutes before the timer ends to avoid overcooking.
Step 1
In a big bowl, mix together the ground chicken, 1/4 cup of cayenne pepper sauce, sea salt, pepper, celery seed, garlic powder, onion powder, and pink curing salt until everything is well combined. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld.
Step 2
When you're ready, use a jerky gun to squeeze the meat mixture into sticks right onto the racks of your air fryer oven. Preheat the air fryer to 160°F (70°C).
Step 3
Once it’s heated, place the racks inside and cook the jerky sticks for about 2 hours. After that, flip them over carefully with a fork and brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cayenne pepper sauce.
Step 4
Put them back in the air fryer for another 30 minutes to finish cooking. Let the jerky cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. Enjoy your spicy, homemade buffalo chicken sticks!
