Notes

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.
