**Soft Chips 101**: The Soft Chip is not just a snack food, it's an art form. It's a delicate balance of crunch and softness, like a perfectly executed pirouette in the kitchen.
**Softening the Rules**: The key to soft chips is not just about the oil, it's about the touch. You gotta have the touch of a surgeon, the finesse of a ballerina, the patience of a saint.
**The Chip Whisperer**: We've got a soft chip whisperer who's here to guide you through the process. Follow these steps, and you'll be frying like a pro in no time.
1. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Not 349, not 351, 350. Don't make us come over there.
2. Slice the chips into thin strips. Thin, but not too thin. You want that perfect snap when you bite in.
3. Dredge the chips in flour, then egg, then more flour. Repeat as necessary.
4. Fry for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. But don't overdo it, or you'll end up with... well, you know.
5. Drain excess oil, then season with salt and/or other magic.
