Jerky treats
This can be used for chicken or beef. I only use Purdue boneless, skinless chicken breast or sirloin / any very lean steak. (When I posted this before, I think one member tried it with boneless fresh (not canned) salmon.)
The only thing used is chicken or beef...no oil or seasonings.
1. Set oven at 190 degrees. Cooking takes about 3 hours to allow for dehydration. (Time may vary depending on the oven)
2. After rinseing, slice, then cut chicken or steak into thin strips.
3, Place chicken or steak strips on a rack, metal cookie sheet, or a pizza stone,and bake. If you use a cookie sheet or pizza stone, you will need to turn the strips mid-way thru the cooking cycle. If you place them on a rack, they will not need to be turned.
4. You will need a spatula to turn them, otherwise they may break.
5. Do not use foil directly underneath the strips. It tends to stick.
6. Let cool on a rack. When completely cooled, place in the fridge in a glass or plactic container.
7. These strips freeze well. I only keep out enough for the week, and freeze the rest. I usually cook 3 chicken breast at a time or 1 large steak.
Although the cooking time is long, it is worth it. The thinner the slice, the better. They look sort of like bacon when ready.
