1. Preheat your oven to 200°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—low temperature is key for proper dehydration.
2. Rinse chicken livers under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels—your dog will start getting excited from the rich aroma.
3. Remove any connective tissue or fat deposits for cleaner, better-textured treats that last longer.
4. Toss cleaned livers with olive oil in a bowl until lightly coated and glistening—the smell is like premium dog treat heaven.
5. Arrange on prepared baking sheet in single layer with space between pieces for proper air circulation.
6. Bake for 2-3 hours until completely dehydrated and firm throughout—they should feel like jerky when done.
7. Cool completely before cutting into small, bite-sized pieces perfect for training rewards.
8. Store in airtight containers to maintain freshness and chewy texture!
