Can you make jerky of chicken?
Beef jerky-- Calontir soup kitchen estimates a single gallon bag of jerky
will feed 20-25 fighters and 25 is pushing it. Remember the little piggies
in armor here. I could consider making beef jerky and serving it at the
late-afternoon court board, but by then they aren't fighting and can eat
the cheese and eggs.
I'm loath to add a high cost, low return, not documented food to the
dayboard, I admit.

On the other hand, is there a way to cook chicken ahead of time and freeze
it, defrost it without reheating, and not have it taste like cardboard?
That would be another solution...
