Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
• One pound of ground chicken thighs
• Three-quarters teaspoon of sea salt
• One-quarter teaspoon of black pepper
• Half a teaspoon of garlic powder
• Half a teaspoon of onion powder
• Half a teaspoon of paprika
• Half a teaspoon of chipotle pepper
• One-quarter teaspoon of cumin
• One teaspoon of nutritional yeast (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven: Start by heating your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare chicken: If you’re using whole chicken thighs, cut them into smaller pieces. Feed these pieces through a meat grinder into a medium bowl.
Mix spices: In a separate small bowl, combine all the spices. Then, add this spice mixture to the ground chicken. Stir everything thoroughly using a rubber spatula. For a smoother texture, run the chicken mixture through the meat grinder again, aiming for a paste-like consistency.
Roll out the chicken mixture: Cut a piece of parchment paper to the size of a large cookie sheet. Place half of the chicken paste in the center. Cover it with cling film of the same size. Using a rolling pin, flatten the chicken until it is very thin, similar to paper.
Baking: Remove the cling film. Transfer the parchment paper with the chicken to a cookie sheet. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, watching closely to ensure it doesn’t burn. Ovens may vary, so it’s good to check at the 30-minute mark. The goal is a crispy texture.
Cool and serve: After baking, let the giant chicken chip cool for 5 minutes. If it’s not crispy enough, you can return it to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes. Once crisp, break it into smaller chips. Serve with guacamole or your favorite dip for a delightful snack!
