BBQ Kettle Chips - A Selfish Request

[btupper2001]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm looking for a recipe for bbq kettle chips. Those of you from the Midwest I would prefer to find something that mimics the Old Dutch Brand Kettle BBQ Chips. I've tried searching the web and haven't really had much luck. I have a nice mandolin so slicing the potatoes is easy. Primarily I'm looking for the spices. I know a lot of people just use a chili powder or something similar. It just isn't the same.

I really like salty snacks and I rarely buy them because I can't stomach $2.00+ for even the generic ones except once in a blue moon. I figured someone here would have a good recipe that I could use.

 

Thanks,

B

I have never tried this but it might work to get you the barbeque flavor you want. What if you would take your favorite bbq sauce and dehydrate it on a fruit leather sheet in a deydrator until it is totally dry and brittle then put it in a food processor and blend it until it is a powder then sprinkle that on your chips? That should give you that bbq taste you want. (If it works that is)

Thanks Jake - I never actually thought about that before. I think I'll have to try it!

This is actually the spice rub I use for Beer-can Chicken, but it tastes very simular to BBQ chips. Maybe it would work? You can make a big bac\tch and freeze what you don't use.

 

Spice Rub

1/2 cup sweet paprika

2 tablespoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon dried thyme

2 teaspoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
