Might be lucky to have these with chips (4)
I believe the answer is:
dips
'chips' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dips that I've seen before include "Briefly immerses" , "Lowers into liquid" .)
