Step 2: Using a small sharp knife, cut each pita bread horizontally along outside edges, gently separating each pita bread with hands into 2 flat discs.

Step 3: Preheat broiler. Place 4 pita halves, insides up, in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush pita halves with melted butter mixture. Broil until pita halves are toasted and golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning. Repeat with remaining pita halves and butter mixture. Cool completely. Break pita halves into 2-3 inch pieces. Place pita chips in serving bowl.
