Chef’s Tips
- For a more stable coating, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before lightly moistening it.
- If you want a deeper golden color, turn on the grill (broil) for the last 2 minutes, keeping a close eye on it.
- Avoid adding too much salt before baking, since packaged chips are already quite flavorful.
- For a more aromatic version, try using flavored chips such as paprika or rosemary.
