Snack sticks seasoning

[bobfrapples]

I made a sample batch of willies snack sticks and also Cajun jerky. We tend to like something with a little kick and found the Cajun jerky tastes amazing and the snack sticks seem too bland for our taste.

I’ve done some reading and it seems like I could use the jerky seasoning to make snack sticks which I will probably do a test batch on. With that said, any other suggestions on snack sticks seasoning with a little kick? I’d like to try one additional sample batch, pick the best, and roll with it for a full 25# batch.

have you tried adding some crushed red pepper to the willies seasoning when mixing

[bobfrapples]

craigrice No, I thought of adding that or cayenne pepper but didn’t know where to start on amounts. What would be a good starting point for a 25# batch, couple tablespoons?

bobfrapples it all is personal taste try a small batch to try and adjust from there

I think to the crushed red pepper I would also add some Calabrian ground pepper powder. Same spice level as cayenne but MUCH more flavorful

I like fresh jalapeno in snack sticks.
