# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • These chips crisp up in your air fryer in minutes with barely any oil, making them feel guilt-free despite tasting indulgent.
  • The dip comes together in one bowl and tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did—perfect for looking impressive without stress.
  • It's Filipino comfort food meets casual appetizer, so it works for family dinners, parties, or just satisfying a craving at 9 PM.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step for the chips—they continue crisping as they cool, and if you eat them warm, they'll soften up faster than you'd like.
  • The dip thickens slightly when chilled, so if you make it ahead, add a splash of milk to loosen it back up before serving.
  • Taste the dip before serving and adjust salt—cooked chicken brands vary, and you might need more seasoning than you think.
03 -
  • Don't oil your hands to cut the wrappers—they'll stick; instead, use a sharp knife or clean kitchen scissors and work quickly.
  • The secret to silky dip is folding the chicken in gently at the end instead of mixing aggressively; you want it distributed, not shredded into oblivion.
