I bought an inexpensive food dehydrator and make my own chicken jerky for Lil' Miss Izzie......she knows that when she sees it come out onto the countertop that treats are on the way....I just freeze skinned/boneless chicken breasts, fand then when they are at the point of defrosting that they can be sliced thinly I slice them up and into the dehydrator they go......in 24 hrs waaaaalaaaaa homemade chicken jerky
