Thank you to Chef’s Cut for providing me product in exchange for review. All opinions belong to me. I was paid to insert a link into this post.
I love snacking, it’s something I feel is deeply ingrained in my personality. Now lately I have been trying to curb myself into healthy snacking. After I put my kids down for bed I’ll snack on fruit or something similar. I snack a lot more than that though, like while doing blog writing, or riding in the car, there basically isn’t a time where it’s off limits to snack for me. Jerky is a great source of protein and a great indulgence for a snack. Jerky has savory, hearty aspects that take little to no work to enjoy immediately. Chef’s Cut jerky knows people love to snack and want to let the world know their jerky is worthy of snack time!
I received a Chefs Cut Deluxe Trial box valued at $70 that included 5 bags of their signature jerky. See that hand written note, true customer loyalty there. When most people think jerky they think beef, Chef’s cut is here to show you that chicken and turkey jerky is easily as tasty as beef jerky! Because I was so excited to try chicken jerky I tried it first. This was a honey barbecue flavor that totally hit the nail on the head. I loved it and honestly couldn’t tell you by taste or texture that this was chicken.
Next on the chicken jerky train was a buffalo style. Now I’m not a huge fan of buffalo chicken in general but I can tell you this tasted just like the buffalo chicken I have tried in the past.
Why not go from chicken to turkeyy jerky? Ok i’ll admit it now that I just really enjoy saying turkey jerky. This jerky was another great one, texture on point, flavor, right where it needed to be and moist to boot!
My kids aren’t fans of spicy foods but I, however, am. This chipotle cracked pepper beef jerky was such a nice mild heat that didn’t overwhelm the flavors of the actual jerky, a perfect balance!
Original recipe steak jerky, I can honestly say this is my overall favorite and the one I am hoarding to myself at the computer desk right now. Once again an amazing smoky but sweet flavor paired with perfect texture.
If you’re looking for a one stop shop to indulge in all your jerky needs from beef steak to chicken and turkey, look no further. Chef’s Cut has perfected the blend of spices with meats to match any palate preference.
Of course, you can take a steak and throw it right into sous vide cooker. My friends from Cook Spot even analyzed the market and compiled lists of everything you need from sous vide cookers to impervious bags for sous vide. But that’s if you like sous vide. In other case Chefs Cut turkey and chicken jerky is the answer.
I am a stay at home mother of two, who loves to create in every form, from cooking, to henna, to painting or sculpting, creating with my hands is my passion! I love to dance and let loose when the music flows right. Being outside is a special kind of therapy I think humans need more of as well as mindfulness! I love all things new and adventurous and am always looking to experience more of life 🙂

Jerky is a snack I really enjoy, but I have never tried Turkey Jerky. I will have to give Chefs Cut a try next time I go shopping.

Yum! I’d love to try the chicken and turkey jerky varieties. I must try the honey barbecue chicken and the buffalo chicken flavor. Thank you for sharing this review.

This product should be called “Sand Jerky” or “Total Crap Jerky” is more like it.
First and foremost, the taste is horrible. I can taste the wannabe flavors, majorly sharply sweet with fake sweatener. It tastes fake. By order of crappiness: Original Jerky, Turkey Jurky, and the worst, Chipoltle Cracked Pepper.
Second, the texture is like Sand. It’s not chewy like real Jerky should have, a somewhat chewy texture. It’s not even close to chewy, it’s like sand. It’s brittle and too soft. It’s like they use ground meat and shove a bunch of overwhelming over used flavor in it, and mix it all together, dry it for too long, then inject water into it, then slightly dry it again. It’s more like eating flavor injected deteriorated Dreadlocks with mud to be perfectly honest.
If I could give this jerky a minus scale I’d give it -30 (Negative 30).
I can be certain that if anyone online is saying their Jerky is good, they are either being PAYED to do so (and say they are not) OR, they have the worst taste in food ever. It’s like food you would have on a cheap Ukraine airplane, Basic. You don’t choose your own seat, and you’re sitting between a Rabi with holes all over his black jacket and a fat ugly Norsk man wearing a Kilt and they both didn’t take showers for the past 6 months.
Do not buy this crap!

U must have gotten a good batch. Because non of my bag was “brittle” more like crumbling meat. Read my post if u like. But I definitely agree with u.
Im so pissed I wasted my money. I will continue to buy real jerky from the butcher and or continue to make my own. I use london broil slabs. Yes it’s work to cut the fat but man does it tast great and if u start in the morning u and ur friends can eat it at the 4pm kickoffs (if u like football) .

I must agree with some of these reviews. Its a very weird consistency. And way too sweet. Its discusting. They over tenderize the meat so it fall apart in the bag before u even open it. I like jerky that u fight with to get a bite. This stuff is mush ! Discusting 2 say the least.
Good news is that my homemade jerky is vastly superior to this. So for that! Thank you.
I use almost the exact same ingredients so why does mine taste so good and this, so bad. The coating u put on is an after thought right. Well skip that process and it may be better. And add spice to this stuff. U certainly did2think this thru, at all. It must have been created in a board meeting of executives . I can hear it now, “put this this this, do this, put it in a bag and they will buy it”
AND THAT IS WHAT IT TASTES LIKE !
IM from Pa Dutch country and our jerky is the best because we’re been making it for over 250years to feed our soldiers in the civil war. And id bet the Virginia’s have just as good if not better jerky the the Amish. Though I dought it but maybe.-
“Disgusting” not the other. Sorry 4 typo.

I just got done rinsing this jerky off with water and resalted and added hot sauce. Then redried. It tastes better, not great but better. The meat like I said was over tenderized so I can’t undo that. But I suggest this to any annoyed purchasers of this “jerky”.
When I spend this kind of money and get this kind of product I do what I have to do to make it edible for me. MY DOGS AINT EATIN IT ! The carp in the pond love it. I just wonder how they will taste. Aybe we r on to something.
Get my geese to eat this stuff and our Foie gras might be a best seller. NOT !
I’ve made turkey jerky before and it was good. I like reading about the different brands and how they taste. It’s just a tad too expensive for me though. Maybe as a gift but it sure looks good.
