The invention discloses a processing method for cooling and air-drying meat products, which comprises the steps of: 1. selecting raw chicken, duck or fresh pork without viscera, and precooling and disacidifying the meat at the temperature of 0 to 5 DEG C; 2. putting the chicken, duck and the like into seasoner for pickling; 3. standing at the temperature of 0 to 5 DEG C for flavoring and even diffusion of flavor; and 4. after shaping, delivering the meat into an air drying room with the temperature of 10 to 15 DEG C and the relative humidity of 30 to 50 percent to be dried so as to obtain theair-dried meat products. The product after primary air drying is delivered into a smoking room to be smoked and air-dried again, thus a smoked meat product can be obtained. The processing method for cooling and air-drying meat products has the advantages: the finished meat product has pure flavor, strong bacon flavor and pliable taste. The meat product is produced in a closed environment without outside pollution, the production temperature is maintained within 0 to 15 DEG C, the meat product cannot be deteriorated in the closed environment, and the quality can be guaranteed; and the processing method is not limited by season or ambient temperature, thus the meat product can be prepared by mass industrial production.
