I received my free sample of "habanero buffalo chicken" jerky today. In total it was about 4 ounces. It came in a nice plastic "take out" type box via priority mail. On first inspection, it looks clean, with a nice color, and cut into nice sized manageable strips. I was interested to see how hot it would be considering habanero can mean anything between mildly spicy to several hours of pain, and I was pleasantly surprised.

The amount of heat was right in the sweet spot of being enough to have a good bite but being well below the point of it being distracting from the taste and enjoyment of it. I think even if you have a low tolerance for spicy foods, this still might be within your high range of acceptable heat level. This is a good indicator to me this guy knows what he is doing with jerky as getting this heat balance is not an easy task. Furthermore the texture was very good, dry enough that I am not worried about getting salmonella, but not so dry it is like trying to eat plywood like some jerky. Also it was not overly salty, which is something that I don't really enjoy about most jerky.

Overall I am very impressed and would rate the over all experience as a 9 out of 10. Thank you for the delicious sample, I think you could do well here with some dedicated effort, and I look forward to being a future customer!

Wow thank you! I'm glad that you liked it so much. To be honest I wasn't sure how the dryness of the chicken would be to other people!

I do have something in the works that I might really kick up the heat on -- like 850,000 scoville ghost pepper and/or using pure pepper extract for those that are real risk takers.
