Small piece of meat with one of the chips (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sliver

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'small piece' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'meat with one of the chips' is the wordplay.
'meat' becomes 'liver' (liver is a kind of meat).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'one of the chips' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'liver' put after 's' is 'SLIVER'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sliver that I've seen before include "Piece cut off" , "Small thin sharp piece" , "Tiny bit" , "Thin fragment or slice" , "Splinter of wood" .)
