The production of forward jets of transverse momentum p{sub T}(j){approx}Q and large momentum fraction x{sub jet}{gt}x probes the onset of Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) dynamics at DESY HERA. A full O({alpha}{sup 2}{sub s}) calculation of the inclusive forward jet cross section is presented and compared to the expected BFKL cross section. The kinematical region populated by these events and the scale dependence of the fixed order perturbative QCD cross sections are discussed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
