The Only Ingredient You Need: Ground Chicken for Carnivore Chips
How to Make Crispy Carnivore Chips:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (191°C). Line two half sheet (18 x 13 inch) baking pans with high-quality parchment paper (Reynolds recommended for best non-stick).
In a large bowl, thoroughly stir and mash the ground chicken until it becomes a smooth paste. (Optional: For thicker, crunchier chips, mix in 1 teaspoon of baking powder at this stage. Season with a little salt if desired).
Divide the ground chicken in half. Transfer one half to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover the chicken surface with a large sheet of plastic wrap.
Use a rolling pin to spread the ground chicken as thinly and evenly as possible across the baking sheet without making it transparent. The thinner it is, the crispier the chips will be.
Gently peel off the plastic wrap. If the chicken sticks, it was likely rolled too thin.
(Optional) Use a butter knife to cut the thin layer of ground chicken into desired chip shapes (rectangles, squares, or triangles). Remember they will shrink during baking, so make the cuts about 1.5 times larger than your desired final size.
Repeat steps 3-6 with the remaining half of the ground chicken on the second baking sheet.
Place one baking pan in the middle of the preheated oven (bake one tray at a time for even cooking).
Bake chicken chips for approximately 35-50 minutes. Baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken and its moisture/fat content. The chips are ready when they feel firm and lift easily from the parchment paper. If the center is still slightly soft, remove the crispy edges and return the center to the oven for a few more minutes.
Repeat the baking process with the second tray of ground chicken.
Allow the carnivore chips to cool slightly before breaking them into smaller pieces. They will crisp up further as they cool.
(Optional) Sprinkle the cooled chicken chips with salt and/or other carnivore-friendly seasonings (like taco seasoning without sugar or plant-based fillers). Serve with your favorite carnivore dips.
Store leftover carnivore chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for longer shelf life.
