Number Of Ingredients 1

1 pound chicken breasts, deboned

  • Place slices on a greased cookie sheet, leaving at least a ½-inch between slices.

  • When done, remove the treats from the oven and cool on a drying rack.

CHICKEN JERKY FOR DOGS

You can dehydrate your own chicken for you dogs at a fraction of the cost of commercial chicken jerky. I found the method on expertvillage.com. Edited to add: Well, here's a great example why you shouldn't make a recipe public until after you've tried it. I've now made the recipe (after it was reviewed and found to be in need of a much longer cooking time) and the instructions have now been corrected. Note: Regarding garlic and dogs: Many dogs enjoy the taste of garlic and it's a natural flea repellent. A small bit of cooked garlic should not be toxic. However, according to the American Animal Hospital Association, raw and spoiled garlic is toxic and potentially fatal to dogs. Consult with your veterinarian before using and use in small quantities.

  • Slice the chicken into thin strips. You should end up with about 7 or 8 slices.
  • Place chicken slices on a baking sheet and bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours to remove moisture (cooking time will depend on thickness of chicken and whether chicken is refrigerated or warm from oven. I baked raw chicken until no longer pink then allowed it to cool enough to be handled before slicing into strips).

Number Of Ingredients 2

Olive oil, (to grease wire rack)
1 pound chicken breast

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250ºF.
  • Grease a wire rack with olive oil (or coconut oil) and place on top of a cookie sheet. This will allow the air to circulate as the chicken is dehydrating. Set aside.
  • Trim chicken of all visible fat.
  • Slice the chicken 1/8th inch to 1/4 inch thick.
  • Place the chicken slices on a rack and cook for 2 hours *(check them after an hour and then every thirty minutes or so. Everyone's oven can vary a little, so after you make them once you can adjust the time as necessary).
  • Flip them over after 2 hours and continue to dehydrate in the oven for another 45 minutes, or until fully crisp.

Number Of Ingredients 1

Chicken Breast Fillets

Steps:

  • Instructions: Preheat oven to 200° F Lightly grease a baking sheet. Rinse off chicken breast and remove any fat. Slice the chicken with the grain. This will help make the jerky even chewier for your dog. The slices should be very thin, about 1/8" to 1/4" thickness. Place the strips on the baking sheet. Bake for approximately 2 hours (see note below). Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack until completely cool. Cut strips into bite sized pieces. Storing: These homemade dog treats may not last long enough to be stored because they are so good. But, just in case they do, store them in the refrigerator for 3 weeks. Freeze any remainder for up to 8 months. Be sure to read our tips on storing homemade dog treats for more information.

Tips:

  • Choose lean chicken breast: This will help to reduce the fat content in the jerky.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain: This will make it easier to chew and digest.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor and make it more tender.
  • Use a dehydrator or oven to dry the chicken: A dehydrator is the best option, but you can also use an oven set to the lowest temperature possible.
  • Store the jerky in an airtight container: This will help to keep it fresh and prevent it from becoming moldy.

Conclusion:

Chicken jerky is a healthy and delicious treat that your dog will love. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a convenient snack to keep on hand. By following these tips, you can make sure that your dog's chicken jerky is safe and tasty.
