Crispy Chicken Chips Recipe


  • Author: Aleena
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: About 3040 chips (depending on slice size) 1x

Description

Crispy, savory, and packed with protein, these homemade chicken chips are the perfect guilt-free snack. Easy to make and irresistibly crunchy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (or ground chicken)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    Slightly freeze the chicken breasts for about 30 minutes to make slicing easier. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the chicken into very thin, even pieces (about ⅛ inch thick).

  • Dry the Chicken:
    Lay the slices between paper towels and gently press to remove any excess moisture.

  • Season:
    In a large bowl, toss the chicken slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt until evenly coated.

  • Preheat Oven or Air Fryer:
    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) or your air fryer to 280°F (140°C).

  • Arrange:
    Lay the chicken slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in an air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overlapping.

  • Cook:
    Bake for 20–30 minutes or air fry for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Watch closely after 15 minutes to prevent burning.

  • Cool:
    Transfer the cooked chips to a wire rack and let them cool completely. They will crisp up even more as they cool.

 

  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for a crispy snack anytime!

Notes

Flavor ideas: After baking, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning, or spicy cayenne for a flavor twist.
Storage: Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
