Chicken Jerky Dog Treats
If your dog loves the taste of chicken, he will do back flips for chicken jerky dog treats. When you make a dog jerky recipe you'll be the most popular person on your block (at least with your four legged neighbors).
Making jerky for your dog is not a difficult process. These chicken jerky treats are a perfect example of easy dog treat recipes.
This homemade dog treat is an excellent training dog treat. Most dogs will be happy to follow directions for this healthy treat.
This is one of the few dog treat recipes that you can give to your pet cats, too.
Recommended Equipment:
Ingredients:
- Chicken Breast Fillets
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 & Techniques
- Checking - The baking times will vary due to difference in ovens, temperatures and meat size. Your jerky treats should be firm and dry, not at all soft or spongy. It is safer to go a little extra dry and firm than for the meat to be underdone.
- Cutting - Once the treats are cool, it's easier to cut them with kitchen scissors or a pizza cutter, than a regular knife.
There is so much flexibility when making your own chicken jerky dog treats. One of the best options is that you do not need to be restricted to only using chicken. So let's preheat the oven and go for low and slow for these tasty jerky treats.
