Well about chicken kibble or cooked chicken, there are dogs that are allergic to cooked chicken but can eat raw chicken with no problems.
I would first get the dog off grains, carbs and onto a raw meaty bone diet. Using only DMSO and Cs to try and solve the "problem" is a patchwork solution. One needs to work on what caused the imbalance that made the dog susceptible to the infection.

That's why she's on the lamb and rice diet. But we still need to keep after her ears somewhat. The DMSO from Jeffers - do you only use it for animals? Or for yourself also?

I would use DMSO and CS, 30-50% on the DMSO, this will keep it dry-er. Watch the moisture level, after the CS DMSO has had time to soak in, dry the ear out with Epi-Otic solution or cotton. Those long floppy ears make it hard to get good air circulation. Wheat is the most common allergy in dogs, but they can be allergic to chicken or beef too. I would go strictly with one food, a sort of elimination diet. Until her ears get cleared up then introduce new foods one at a time and see if she reacts. You can also try taking her heart rate before and after giving a new food, adrenaline release in an allergic reaction generally makes heart rate and blood pressure go up. Garnet
