Chicken Jerky Strips
I found a square NESCO dehydrator on Amazon. I purchased two extra trays to go with it also. I buy the chicken breast and I freeze them..then take them out..let them thaw a couple hours..only enough to break them apart from being frozen, then I take a fork and a sharp knife and I stick the fork in the chicken to hold it, (it keeps my fingers out of the way) and then I start slicing as thin as I can (1/8-1/4 of an inch).
Once they are all sliced and in the dehydrator..I plug it in. It is set to 160 degrees for jerky. Usually after anywhere from 6-9 hours (times may vary for each individual), they are done.
I take them out and put them in a pan. I turn on the oven to 200-250 degrees and put them in there for about 30 minutes to kill any bacteria left on the chicken. (170 degrees kills the bacteria.) Then I take them out, let them cool and put in large baggies and store in frig. My dogs will take a hand off getting one of these.
I don't put any spices or anything on them. It isn't necessary. They love them plain. Takes about less than an hour in the kitchen for cutting and clean up.
**To know when they are done...I cook them till they start to change color..as in slightly darker..all over. Some may be thicker than other strips so check them all to make sure they are done or close to. My dogs like them either way..soft and chewy or Crunchy. It's up to you. The longer they cook, the more crunchy but don't burn them. Enjoy!!
