Toasting Oak Chips

[jgodd]

So, I bought some oak chips from my local home brew shop, they are not toasted. I have been searching online to try to find out the proper way to toast them myself. I have read about soaking them (not sure in what), or just throwing them in the oven at 450 for a half hour.

If anyone knows how to toast oak chips, can you point me in the right direction!?

Thanks!
