My chicken's favorite treat is a weird choice

I had to pick between giving my Barred Rock, Mabel, a handful of mealworms or a single, plain tortilla chip. She always goes nuts for the chip. The other day she saw the bag and chased me across the yard, squawking like a maniac until I gave her a piece. Now she ignores the worms completely and just stares at the back door, waiting for chips. Has anyone else's flock developed a totally random junk food habit?

Chased you across the yard" is sending me. I can just picture a chicken on a mission for a tortilla chip. Mine turn their beaks up at blueberries but will fight over a single french fry.

Chickens have the weirdest junk food priorities, like tiny feathered food critics.
