Tips for the Perfect Duck Feet Treats
Want to make these treats even better? Here are some tips and tricks to get the best results:
- Use Fresh Herbs for Extra Flavor: If you want to go the extra mile, try using fresh oregano and parsley instead of dried. Finely chop the herbs and sprinkle them over the duck feet before cooking. This will give the treats an even fresher, more aromatic kick!
- Experiment with Herbs: Feel free to get creative with the seasoning. Other herbs like rosemary or thyme could add a different twist and keep things interesting for your dog’s taste buds.
- Serve as a Special Treat: Because of their unique flavor and texture, these treats make an excellent “special occasion” snack. Use them as a reward for training milestones or as a surprise for a special outing.
- Adjust Cooking Time for Smaller Air Fryers: If you’re using a smaller air fryer, check on the treats a little earlier, as cooking times can vary. You want that perfect golden-brown crunch without overdoing it.
- Make a Big Batch and Freeze: Duck feet freeze well, so if you’re able to get a good batch, make extras! You can store them in the freezer and pull out a few when you want to treat your dog to something extra special.
Storing Your Duck Feet Dog Treats
Once the treats have cooled, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should stay fresh for about a week. If you made a larger batch, they can also be frozen for longer storage. Just thaw a few in the fridge before serving.
