Wash and clean chicken. Place in large stewing kettle with water to
cover (about 2-1/2 quarts). Cook 1 to 1-1/2 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 1/8 to 1/4 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.
