Pet Treat Recipes
Chicken Jerky Treats
Select lean chicken breast, thigh, or leg meat. Remove skin and fat. Freeze poultry until rm,
but not solid, to make slicing easier. Slice into strips that are ¼ inch thick and 1 inch wide. Slice
across the grain for a more tender dog treat or with the grain for a chewier treat.
Position chicken strips on dehydrator trays, arranging treats close together but not overlapping.
Dehydrate 4 to 5 hours.
Preheat oven to 275°F.* (For an accurate temperature reading, check with an oven thermome-
ter.) Remove dog treats from dehydrator trays and place on a baking sheet close together, but not
touching. Heat dog treats in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove treats from baking sheet and
cool to room temperature.
*Refer to the CAUTION! on page 4 about baking after dehydrating.
