Directions

Wash and clean chicken. Place in large stewing kettle with water to cover (about 2-½ quarts). Cook 1 to 1-½ hours, or until tender.

Remove skin, bone, and all fat from chicken. (Save broth for making soup.) Grind chicken and all remaining ingredients together, alternating them as they go through the grinder. Mix well. Prepare four trays. Spread plastic wrap or parchment paper lengthwise over dehydrator tray, and tape each corner to tray with transparent or masking tape. Divide chicken mixture in four parts and spread one part on each lined tray about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. Place trays in dehydrator to dry. Dry 6 to 8 hours. After mixture has dried sufficiently to hold together, it may be removed from liner and placed driectly on trays for faster drying. Chicken will retain a beautiful light color. Break or pull off pieces for chips or snacks.
