Quoted from this article:

http://www.naturalnews.com/021808.html

"Chips / crackers / cookies: These generally contain white flour and sugar as well as trans fats, but it's not enough to simply look for these ingredients on the label; you have to actually "decode" the ingredients list that food manufacturers use to deceive consumers. They do this by hiding ingredients (such as hiding MSG in yeast extract, or by fiddling with serving sizes so they can claim the food is trans fat free, even when it contains trans fats (the new Girl Scout cookies use this trick).

Acrylamides are not added into food; they are created during the frying process. When starchy foods (including chips) are subjected to high heat, acrylamides form. A Swedish study found that acrylamides cause cancer in rats, and more studies are under way to confirm the understanding that acrylamides also cause cancer in humans."

It would be bad for a number of reasons. If chips were the only nutrition source, your diet would be very poor and you would become malnourished, i.e. not getting the essential components your body requires to be healthy, such as the essential amino acids. This would mean many of your cells would not reproduce properly. If chips are deep or shallow fried, i can see it encouraging weight gain as the ingestion of too much fat means more fat will be stored. Too much weight gain can have detrimental effects on health - athlerosclerosis, heart attack, high blood pressure, Diabetes etc. Vary the diet a bit, maybe a few veggies here and there and some exercise. Maybe bake the chips without using any fat....or just eat pototoes in another form...baked, mashed, boiled...

Chips contain little to no nutritional value, and therefore, can make you gain a lot of weight.

Why are chicken chips bad for you?

Chicken and chips is not bad for you- unless that is ALL that you eat, or eat too much of it. When fried, the chicken (and the chips) will contain a lot of fat- and too much fat- along with too much sodium (salt on your chips?) is not good for you. In all things- moderation.
