Ingredients
Scale
24 oz. thick cut bacon
1 Tablespoon Sriracha sauce (more if you like it spicy)
1/4 cup soy sauce
a few drops of liquid smoke (optional)
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder (optional)
Instructions
Arrange your bacon slices on a tray or dehydrator grid,
Combine marinade ingredients in a small mixing bowl
Brush marinade over both sides of bacon slices
Put your jerky in the dehydrator on the highest setting for 4-6 hours (I have this dehydrator), or in the oven on the lowest setting (200º or less), with the door propped open for 3-5 hours.
When it’s done, your jerky should be dry but still pliable.
Store in airtight zip-top or vacuum-sealed bags for up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator, or freeze for up to 6 months.
