Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
With a sharp knife, cut each bacon strip into three or four pieces (you want them bite-size). Arrange the pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the chips until very crispy, 15-20 minutes. Place them on paper towels and allow them to cool and firm up for ten minutes.
Serve with a dip such as guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.

The nutrition info does not include dips.
Make sure to wear long oven mitts when removing the pan from the oven.
The chips will be too soft when they emerge from the oven. Make sure to let them rest and firm up for about ten minutes before using them.
After they're completely cool, I store these chips in a resealable bag in the fridge. They last for about five days. You don't even need to reheat them, by the way. Cold bacon is surprisingly delicious. But if you'd like to reheat them, place them on a plate lined with a paper towel, cover with another paper towel, and microwave in 30-second increments. You can also reheat them uncovered in a 350°F oven to crisp them back up.
