The Righteous Felon original recipe and sweet, smoky, hickory flavor that started it all. This O.G. classic hit the streets in '96 and the jerky game ain't been the same ever since.

A red bandana on a Black Lab's neck. An old, beat-up Martin Guitar getting passed around a campfire. Bruce Springsteen blaring over a jukebox in a rundown dive bar on the corner of Matlack and Neilds. A deranged madman flying a kite in the middle of a lightning storm. A coupla crazy forefathers, thinking they could defeat the reigning superpower of Mother Earth. There's only a few things in this world more American than the aforementioned, and among those chosen few is an elixir unique to America itself - bourbon, the only form of whiskey that mandates production in one of these fifty United States of America in fresh, first-timer oak barrels.    

Bourbon Franklin takes Righteous Felon's original recipe and pile drives it with a Fourth-of-July's worth of bourbon, a pinch of vanilla bean, and a whisper of cinnamon that'll whisk you right back to the street you grew up on. Bourbon Franklin is an homage to the ingenuity of America itself, its signature spirit, and the great men (and women) who created it and continue to reinforce and redefine its founding values - family, friends, flavor, freedom, and the pursuit of (your tongue's) happiness.

The world's first and only truffle-infused beef jerky, and we don't mean truffle oil or truffle "essence" that's added as an afterthought as the last ingredient just so the name can be in the product title (and inevitably disappoint the customer with weak flavor). No, this jerky is made by adding real black truffle powder, sourced from Italy, into our O.G. Hickory marinade. The resulting delicacy is a smoky, savory, sweet, earthy "UMAMI BOMB" with just the right dose of truffle to delight the senses and set your taste buds' gearshift into overdrive.

Freshly graduated from our R&D program, say hello to RF's newest little friend and first foray into the non-beef spectrum of jerky: Fowl Capone Turkey Jerky. This best turkey jerky features cage-free turkey breast and a healthy dose of basil, cracked black pepper, and lemon zest, with a touch of smokiness and sweet brown sugar that'll be sure to run all the other wise-guy gobblers out of town.

Did you know that, according to popular folklore, BourBenjamin Franklin wanted the USA's national symbol to be a turkey instead of a bald eagle? He considered the turkey to be "a much more respectable bird (than the bald eagle)," "a true original native of America," and a "bird of courage [that] would not hesitate to attack a grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his yard with a red coat on." That's one jerky turkey - and badass bird.

A prized flavor-fight of saké, tamari, and brown sugar, all in reverence to triumphant teriyaki.

It started as "El Jefe's Last Stand." A limited edition R&D Jerky in honor of our CEO celebrating his nuptials. That's right. Brendan would lose his bachelor status, and his wife-to-be would soon lose her sanity.

As Brendan and his bride left the chapel for their honeymoon at the slaughterhouse, in a 1979 Dodge Station Wagon with tin cans rattling behind the bumper, the consensus was clear: every guest at the wedding LOVED Righteous Felon's trip into Teriyaki. Even the bridemaids who decapitated each other over the bouquet toss made peace--this was one special jerky.

After some minor tweaks to the recipe, "Teriyaki Balboa" was born. A haymaker of flavor from locally sourced, Philadelphia farms, Teriyaki Balboa is the king of the jerky ring. With a left hook of honey and a body-jab of tamari sauce, this prize fighter won’t ever throw the match, no matter how high the bribe. When it comes to this saké-infused yet lightweight jerky, the gloves are off and the championship belt is on, with an umami uppercut to win the day. Teriyaki Balboa: this palette-punching pugilist’s got the competition on the ropes.

Launched February of 2023.

One hundred percent pure habanero beef jerky from the personal stash of Colombia's most notorious felon himself. After Escobar's death in 1993, large reserves of the potent product were confiscated from the kingpin's Medellin compound by a Colombian narcotics task force, evidence that would destroy the Medellin Cartel once and for all. However, systemic corruption within the task force caused the reserves to fall into the wrong hands. Now, nearly 30 years later, that illicit hickory flavor cut with a dose of all-natural Habanero seasoning has a chance to fall into the right hands - yours.  A spicy delicacy for those righteous souls who can take the heat.  And if you can handle the jerky … try RF’s Habanero Beef Sticks! 

Marinated in BBQ sauce that features a diabolical blend of chipotle, habanero, cayenne, and serrano peppers. When the initial sweetness subsides, delicious heat finishes off this flavor roller coaster ride.

Ahh, Maryland, our amphibious neighbors to the south. We've been sourcing Righteous Felon's all-natural, pasture-raised Black Angus beef from our partner Roseda Farm, based in northern Maryland, since making our first batch of beef jerky back in 2012.

In the ensuing years, we've learned that Maryland does another thing very well aside from just crab cakes and football: Dousing everything in site with a heavy dose of a piquant spice blend seasoning synonymous with the Chesapeake region, known as Old Bay - which our legal team tells us can never be mentioned again on our site and will henceforth be known as Chesapeake Crab Spice. While Chesapeake Crab Spice isn't widely known to the rest of the country, this stuff is basically canon in Maryland and the rest of the Mid-Atlantic states. And for good reason - it's freaking delicious.

The addition of Maryland Monroe to the Righteous Felon lineup is our homage to the great Old Line State, whose green pastures and temperate climate have given RF a steady supply of our secret ingredient for all these years: high quality Black Angus beef.

O's, Stroh's, Natty Bohs... and now the best cure for jerky woes.

A winning combination of toasted sesame, spicy gochujang, and rice vinegar brined ginger on Black Angus beef.

During 2021’s "March Meatness" Tournament, one contestant captivated the tastebuds of fervent Righteous Felon fans everywhere: Korean BBQ. Outlasting 15 adversaries to be crowned victorious in the Grande Felonale, we’ve christened our new Korean BBQ Jerky with a moniker to match. Hailing from the city of its namesake, a fighter, a myth, the sweet taste of self-preservation itself: Seoul Survivor. Get ready to K-pop a piece of this transpacific pocket-steak into your piehole and go Gangnam style.
