Instructions

Choose whole cuts of meat that aren't too wide for your meat slicer to handle. Pork loins are an ideal size for these chips.
Freeze the meat overnight or until frozen solid.
Slice the meat thinly with a frozen meat slicer.
Arrange the slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays, making sure they don't overlap.
Sprinkle the meat slices with smoked salt.
Place the trays in a dehydrator set at 70-75ºC (160-165ºF) and dry the meat, checking it after around 3 hours. Continue drying as needed.
Once the meat chips are dry (not flexible) and crispy, turn off the dehydrator and allow the chips to cool.
Once cool, serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

If, after a few days, the chips are no longer crispy to your liking, they can be re-cripsed in either the dehydrator or the oven.

Cut across the grain of the meat for the crispiest chips.
