- barbecue chips thick sliced with ridges are the best
- Chili oil to drizzle
Instructions

Notes
Tips For Success
- Allow about one hour for the cream cheese to come to room temperature.
- Be sure to use a sturdy "ruffled" style bbq potato chip. Even though this is a cream dip, a thin potato chip will break when dipping.
- Want to make this whipped feta dip even creamier and more special. If you can find a block of creamy Greek feta, by all means give it a try. It's a higher quality feta cheese than crumbled.
