Pittige beef jerky - WC Old Fashioned

I've been snacking on this jerky for a week straight, and the cayenne pepper gives it a nice slow burn that builds with each bite. The texture is chewy without being tough, and keeping it in the fridge definitely helps it stay fresh.

The paprika and garlic come through right before the cayenne kicks in, which makes each bite more interesting than the last. I grabbed a bag on a whim and finished it in two sittings, the sugar balance keeps it from being all heat. Solid choice if you like jerky with a real kick.

I usually need to add my own heat to jerky, but this one has plenty from the cayenne—and the slight sugar sweetness balances it nicely. I keep a bag in the fridge for a quick protein hit.
