Alligator Jerky Recipe
Dehydrated alligator fillets marinaded in a Cajun spice blend.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb alligator fillet
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Tony’s Creole Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare alligator fillets, but slicing them into 1/4-1/3 inch thick pieces. These can be long, or short strips, or a mix, but try to get the thickness pretty uniform for even drying time
- In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients
- Add alligator and stir to coat well
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator overnight
- Remove from refrigerator, and drain away excess marinade
- Arrange alligator pieces on a dehydrator trays (I have had this dehydrator for over a decade, and while it’s not an “influencer” brand, it has worked very well for me!) If you do not have a dehydrator, see how to make jerky in the oven
- Set dehydrator to jerky setting – this will likely be the hottest setting, at about 160º
- Dehydrate until jerky is completely dried through – about 8 hours
- Remove from dehydrator and store in airtight container out of direct light
