Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag BBQ potato chips (any brand you love,  the better the chip, the better the dust)
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika (adds that deep, authentic BBQ smokiness)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder (because BBQ and garlic are a match made in heaven)
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder (for that savory depth)
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
  • Salt and black pepper,  to taste (remember, the chips are already salty, so taste as you go)

Required Kitchen Tools

Making BBQ chip dust doesn’t require fancy gadgets, but a few essentials will make the process smoother:
  1. Baking Sheet – For crisping the chips in the oven so the dust has maximum crunch.
  2. Food Processor or High-Powered Blender – To grind the chips into a fine, even dust.
  3. Parchment Paper – Keeps the chips from sticking and makes cleanup easy.
  4. Measuring Spoons – For perfectly balanced seasoning every time.
  5. Airtight Container or Spice Jar – To store your chip dust and keep it fresh until your next BBQ feast.
